h3. event payload
* *event payload*: domain object (programming language dependent) that is associated with an event.
_Example(C++,protocol buffers,spread): an object of type IplImage*_
h3. data type
* *data type*: the type (programming language dependent) of event payload.
_Example(C++,protocol buffers,spread): IplImage* for the example above_
h3. wire type
* *wire type*: Data type (programming language dependent?) of serialized representation of event payload (specific for a port type)
_Example(C++,protocol buffers,spread): unsigned char*_
h3. wire schema
* *wire schema*: Layout/structure of serialized representation of event payload
_Example(C++,protocol buffers,spread): specified by ImageMessage protocol buffer descriptor_
h3. domain->wire converter
* *domain->wire converter*: Mechanism that transforms event payloads into data of the wire type that has an interpretation w.r.t. the wire schema. Uniquely identified by the triple
## domain type
## wire type
## wire schema
_Example(C++,protocol buffers,spread): AbstractConverter<std::string>?_
_See [[Types]] for a list of well-known wire schema <-> data type mappings_
h3. wire->domain converter
* *wire->domain converter*: Similar
h3. notification
* *notification*: Transport-specific message that contains
* ** event meta-data
* ** wire schema
* ** (wire type, wire schema) representation of payload
Note: does *not* contain domain type of event payload
h3. scope
* *scope*: descriptor for a channel of the unified bus. The channel is itself hierarchical, hence the scope also reflects this structure. There is a string-based notation for scopes: @/parent/sub/subsubscope/@. A scope is valid if it matches the given regular expression: @/([a-zA-Z0-9]+/)*@
