<section begin=glossary />
- Method is a systematic procedure for a particular information manipulation process that is needed as a part of an assessment work. Method is the basic building block for describing the assessment work (not reality, like the other universal objects). In practice, methods are "how-to-do" descriptions about how information should be produced, collected, analysed, or synthesised in an assessment. Some methods can be about managing other methods.
<section end=glossary />
- Research question about the structure of a method
- What is a structure for a method such that it
- applies to any method that may be needed in any assessment work,
- enables a detailed enough description so that the work can be performed based on it,
- complies with the structure of the universal objects.
