3.36.1 Abstract Data Model

  • Article

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.

An IUpdateIdentity server maintains the following data elements:

  • UpdateID: A string that uniquely identifies an update.

  • RevisionNumber: An integer revision number that indicates the revision of the update.

Once initialized, these data elements are not modified.
