a unique identifier attached to a referent

a unique nonforgeable name directly identifying an object in a system, together with access information

The ability of a trained and equipped individual or organised force to effectively achieve an assigned mission, task or function

A capability is the ability of an thing to perform a function.

Originally a military term which includes the aspects of personnel, equipment, training, planning and operational doctrine. Now used to mean a demonstrable capacity or ability to respond to and recover from a particular threat or hazard.

Capability is a measure of the ability of a system to perform within its specification limits. It uses a series of indices: Cp, Cpk, Cr, and Cpm.

a relatively broad description of an operational or functional ability, as opposed to a task, which is a more specific description

the combination of military equipment, personnel, logistics support, training, resources, etc. that provides Defence with the ability to achieve its operational aims.

Ability to perform designated activities and to achieve results, which fulfill specified requirements.

An attribute of a sender or receiver (often the receiver) which indicates an ability to generate or process a particular type of message content. See also " Attributes".

Capability is the total range of inherent variation in a stable process. It is determined using data from control charts. The control charts shall indicate stability before capability calculations can be made. Histograms are to be used to examine the distribution pattern of individual values and verify a normal distribution. When analysis indicates a stable process and a normal distribution, the indices Cp and Cpk can be calculated. If analysis indicates a non-normal distribution, advanced statistical tools such as PPM analysis, will be required to determine capability. If control charts show the process to be non-stable, the index Ppk can be calculated.

The ability of an organization, system, or process to realize a product that will fulfill the requirements for that product.

The maximum load that a machine, station or system can carry under specified conditions for a given interval without exceeding approved limits.

The maximum load that a generating unit, generating station, or other electrical apparatus can carry under specified conditions for a given period of time without exceeding approved limits of temperature and stress.

The maximum load that a generating unit, generating station, or other item of electrical equipment can carry for a designated amount of time without exceeding approved limits and subsequently causing equipment damage and/or going out of service permanently. See Emergency Rating.

The maximum load which a generating unit station transmission system or other electrical apparatus can carry under special conditions per a given period of time without exceeding approved limits of temperature and stress.

a token that identifies an object and contains access rights, i
