Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Interface Repositoryconcept0.873
  Facility that maps symbolic names to public interfaces, enabling dynamic functionality extension without modifying the backplane.
• Interface Repository reduces coupling between applications and between applications and framework.claim0.801
• The interface repository is simply a mapping between a symbolic name and a public interface associated with which is some well-defined behavior.quote0.801
  Core definition of the interface repository concept.
• The interface repository allows functionality to be added without directly altering the backplane.claim0.791
  Claim that the interface repository provides a non-invasive extension mechanism.
• Create an interface repository for the system and let the backplane serve as the central access point to this list of publicly accessible interfaces which is indexed by a unique name.claim0.767
  Prescriptive claim for the INTERFACE REPOSITORY pattern.
• Interface Transparencyconcept0.749
  Degree to which system internals are visible or hidden from the user.
• Make the components with which the user interacts standard applications which provide standard facilities and interfaces. These applications have a standard interface by which the backplane can manage their lifecycle methods. These applications can be dynamically loaded to help reduce the overall footprint of the system. Avoid having applications communicate directly with one another – use the interface repository for this purpose.claim0.747
  Prescriptive claim for the STANDARD APPLICATIONS pattern.
• We may even call form-language the repository of style.claim0.734
  Defines form language as the source of architectural style.
