A visual description of other objects to which a certain application module is related. It usually contains a sample of surrounding objects and relations to support a specific analysis.
Purpose
Application context description is used to analyze relations to other objects. It is also used to create relations that do not exist in other models (to avoid confusion in integration models).
Way of Working
- Put an application module in the center of the model.
- Use the EA-tool's function to access those relations and object as desired.
