quality or fact or degree of being visible; perceptible by the eye or obvious to the eye; "low visibility caused by fog"
A fundamental concept of modeling, visibility is aimed at keeping system complexity manageable In the GRADE context, if we are modeling a system with Parts A and B and then refine our diagram of B, we do not need to know all that is going on within A; only its interface to B is relevant On a simpler level, the visibility of a given diagram extends to its neighboring diagrams and those above it For example, when you define an entity in an ER diagram, you can pick a datatype for this entity If you have activated the Visible option, you will be limited to picking a "visible" datatype, i e , one that is defined in that part of the model; you will not need to look through a long list of all the model's datatypes, many of which may not be relevant The concept of visibility influences the GRADE dictionary, pick functions, navigation, etc
The ability, as determined by atmospheric conditions and expressed in units of distance, to see and identify prominent unlighted objects by day and prominent objects by night
{i} quality of being clearly seen; distance to which one can see clearly (Meteorology); state or quality of providing an unobstructed view
capability of providing a clear unobstructed view; "a windshield with good visibility" quality or fact or degree of being visible; perceptible by the eye or obvious to the eye; "low visibility caused by fog" degree of exposure to public notice; "that candidate does not have sufficient visibility to win an election"; "he prefers a low profile
The ability to see and identify objects at different distances Visibility reduction from air pollution is often due to the presence of sulfur and nitrogen oxides, as well as particulate matter
(Ticaret) The degree of insight into future requirements, or the key factors that will impact system performance
Broadly, the distance to which an observer can distinguish objects from their background The concept may apply to both air and water The determinants of visibility include the characteristics of the target object (shape, size, color, pattern), the angle and intensity of sunlight, the observer's eyesight, and the extent of light absorption and scattering caused by air and water contaminants
The greatest distance at which it is just possible to see and recognize with the unaided eye (1) in the daytime, a prominent dark object against the sky at the horizon, and (2) at night, a known, preferably unfocused, moderately intense light source
The ability to access or view pertinent data or information as it relates to logistics and the supply chain
degree of exposure to public notice; "that candidate does not have sufficient visibility to win an election"; "he prefers a low profile
An enumeration whose value (public, protected, or private) denotes how the model element to which it refers may be seen outside its enclosing namespace
