Their derivation rules are: #members (Volley) = < number of persons for which there exists currently a membership > first_fee (M) = ((12 - Current_Month#)/12) * annual_fee(Current_Year) age(P) = < difference in years between birth year of P and current year > The last, and most comprehensive, aspect model is the Construction Model (Fig. 11). The two transaction patterns in Fig. 9 are, so to speak, ‘compressed’ to only one symbol in Fig. 11, namely, the disk with a diamond in it. The two actor roles involved are represented by a box.

As examples of the declaration of a unary statum type (b in Fig. 1) we take the type person and the type language. The predicative sentences below the symbol as shown in Fig. 1 would be “x is a person” and “x is a language” respectively. The extensions (B in Fig. 2) of these statum types, denoted by “PERSON” and “LANGUAGE”, respectively, are defined as follows: PERSON = { x | person(x)} LANGUAGE = { x | language(x)} As an example of a binary statum type (c in Fig. 1) we consider persons speaking languages.

19. There we will see that a membership m may exist, in the sense that m  MEMBERSHIP, but that it cannot be used yet in the context of the library, for example to borrow books. From the moment that the corresponding instance of the factum type membership X has been started is created, the membership can be used for that purpose. f A X < predicative sentence > notation of the declaration of the unary factum type f, concerning the object class A; the predicative sentence explains f it has one placeholder for objects (X) Fig.
