Repository Scope
The e-SENS Reference Architecture is concerned with the selection and assembly of loosely-coupled and highly cohesive Capabilities in Solution Architecture Templates, which can be used in solution provision. This part of the repository focuses on the following fragment of the BB description:
The Entry Point in the Repository is the Capability, linked with the Specifications Library through the Technical Specifications.
Catalogue of Capabilities
The following table is the catalog of ABBs (abstracted as Capabilities) available for assembling solutions, grouped by SAT. The main feature is driving the associated Technical Specifications.

e-Document
| SAT - eDocument | ||
|---|---|---|
| e-Document describes any electronic document, structured or unstructured, which supports various formats and offering functionality that fulfills a set of generic, domain or use case specific requirements. | ||
| ABB Capability | Main Feature (Set) | Technical Specifications |
| ABB - Document Provisioning | Doc Engineering | Core Vocabulary, XSLT |

Traceability
| SAT - Non-Repudiation and Traceability | ||
|---|---|---|
| Traceability is the set of tools and techniques aimed at following paths and footprints of principals, e.g., users, transactions, and software agents. It is also defined by ISO 9000:2005 as the "ability to trace the history, application, or location of that which is under consideration". Non-repudiation services are mandated to generate, collect, maintain, make available and validate evidence concerning a claimed event or action in order to resolve disputes about the occurrence or non-occurrence of the event or action. | ||
| ABB Capability | Main Feature (Set) | Technical Specifications |
| ABB - Non-Repudiation | Evidence Management | PR - REM |
| ABB - Timestamping | TimeStamp Management | SP - Timestamping Standards |
Semantics
| SAT - Semantics | ||
|---|---|---|
| Semantics is dealing with the processes and it-services related to the management of terminologies and ontologies, their use in online services and in the design of eDocuments. | ||
