4 Overview of capability unit assessment
4.1 Brief of software unit catalogue
The software capability description dictionary is used to understand the semantics of capability profiles in the software unit catalogue. The software capability description dictionary defines the capability elements to describe the capabilities of the software.
Figure 1 shows the software unit catalogue defined in ISO 16300-2. The software unit catalogue refers to the software capability description dictionary to translate the semantics of the capability template and the capability profiles. Each MSU has one capability profile which belongs to one capability template in the software unit catalogue. An example of a capability template is shown in Annex A.
