Detailing
For example, the Status of a specification is usually the responsibility of some ‘Authority’ (some set of individuals holding the specific Authority).
Authority is held by a specified individual or by an organizational group. A specific Role may hold the Authority. In addition, a Document that is Authorized can be used, within the Document’s Scope, as a source of Authoritative information (in lieu of access to the people holding the Authority).
An Authority Parameter is used to indicate the specific Level of Authority, approval, commitment, sanction, or support for a specified Idea, specification or statement.
