Basic TcSE Entities

Project – Root collection of FoldersBuilding Block – Basic object used to decompose designRequirement – Uniquely identifiable RequirementParagraph – Type of Requirement for preserving document

structure as a placeholderLink – 1 to 1 directional relationship between two entitiesConnection – Physical connection between two physical objectsFolder – Container for other objectsDocument – Type of folder that may contain Requirements,

Paragraphs, and Building BlocksProperty – Attribute of an entity (color, bit rate, prime engineer,

etc)Diagram – Visio Diagram attached to an object
