Role Features and their Implementation with SCROLL

Here is a list of role features, that were collected in our literature survey. The linked pages describe their corresponding implementation with SCROLL if applicable.

1. Roles have properties and behaviors
2. Roles depend on relationships
3. Objects may play different roles simultaneously
4. Objects may play the same role (type) several times
5. Objects may acquire and abandon roles dynamically
6. The sequence of role acquisition and removal may be restricted
7. Unrelated objects can play the same role
8. Roles can play roles
9. Roles can be transferred between objects
10. The state of an object can be role-specific
11. Features of an object can be role-specific
12. Roles restrict access
13. Different roles may share structure and behavior
14. An object and its roles share identity
15. An object and its roles have different identities
16. Relationships between Roles can be constrained
17. There may be constraints between relationships
18. Roles can be grouped and constrained together
19. Roles depend on Compartments
20. Compartments have properties and behaviors
21. A Role can be part of several Compartments
22. Compartments may play roles like objects
23. Compartments may play roles which are part of themselve
24. Compartments can contain other compartments
25. Different compartments may share structure and behavior
26. Compartments have their own identity
