  • ClipMate Human Schema V04 - A CheckVist hierarchy describing the principal Types, Categories, Roles and Relationships in the ClipMate world, including how and where a Member of every Type is created.
    • Domain - Persistent capture, organisation, retrieval and reuse of information that passes through the Windows Clipboard.
    • Central concept - A Clip is a persistent information object created from transient clipboard content.
    • Creation guidance - Each Type states whether its Members are native, automatic, external, derived or Potential Extensions, followed by the practical How and Where.
    • Modelling rule - Types identify kinds of Things; Categories classify instances; Relationships connect Things; Roles describe how a Thing participates in a relationship or process.

        • Where to create or maintain it - Create the operating account in Windows or an organisational directory. Maintain the semantic Person member in Flix or another extension repository rather than in ClipMate.
        • Categories - Classification choices for a Person.
          • User - A Person who operates ClipMate or another application involved in capture or paste.
          • Administrator - A Person who configures databases, collections, retention rules or shared access.
