MPFo Mission Profile Definition (1st Root)

Description

The mission profile of a component is organized in a XML document structure. The MPFo element defines the primary root element, which contains all relevant definitions for document revisions, ports, loads, actions, activities, scenarios and requirements. It also supports the load-time include of externally defined MPFO-XML based mission profile information, which may include definitions of standard loads, standards ports etc.

Definition of ‘MPFo’ Element

The MPFo element is formally defined here: MPFo

All MPFo sub-elements can be encrypted using the W3C XML-encryption mechanism [XML-SEC]. The element attribute ‘Revision’ should be defined in that case due to the then inaccessible revision information in the DocumentDefinition element.
