Name: Interaction template

Reference: A template for describing the events included in the Events chapter of the Interaction Dictionary.

Need to Act?

Due to "unfinished collaborative planning" and "process documentation" journeys of many organisations, event lists in process repositories are often missing.

Often the event modelling is part of the scope determination in requirements engineering, but the resulting models are not an integral part of the process and solution documentation.

If this situation looks familiar to you, then check the Blueprint section and the #2030library case.

Description

Domain Domain of the event. The domain is expressed via one or more hashtags from these topic dimensions: economic activities (isic), sustainable development targets (sdg or sdt), functions of government (cofog), and Addis Ababa Action Agenda (aaaa).
Social actors and roles The active elements, for instance social actors or roles that typically trigger the event.
If the actor or role is described in the Actor Atlas then its page will be referenced.

The Events chapter in the Interaction Dictionary provides completed event templates for a small number of "abstract" interactions. As part of the Partner livelihoods chapter of some requirements engineering cases the templates will be completed for more concrete events.

Variants: business event template and application event template

Call to Action - #ACT4SDGs

In the #2030library case we will demonstrate the role of events in the as part of the process documentation, and how requirements articulation for the library stakeholders proceeds via annotations with respect to the event (or process) models. The annotations per stakeholder are elaborated in the #2030library case.
