            The scope of this Recommendation includes:
            –       Smart Farming reference model.
            –       Service capabilities required by Smart Farming.

            –       Network capabilities required by Smart Farming.

            The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in
            this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated
            were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of this Recommendation
            are  therefore  encouraged  to  investigate  the  possibility  of  applying  the  most  recent  edition  of  the
            Recommendations and other references listed below. A list of the currently valid ITU-T Recommendations is
            regularly published. The reference to a document within this Recommendation does not give it, as a stand-
            alone document, the status of a Recommendation.

            3       Definitions

            3.1     Terms defined elsewhere

            This Recommendation uses the following terms defined elsewhere:
            3.1.1   context [ITU-T Y.2002]: The information that can be used to characterize the environment of a user.

            NOTE  –  Context  information  may  include  where  the  user  is,  what  resources  (devices,  access  points,  noise  level,
            bandwidth, etc.) are near the user, at what time the user is moving, interaction history between person and objects,
            etc. According to specific applications, context information can be updated.

            3.1.2   object [ITU-T Y.2002]: An intrinsic representation of an entity that is described at an appropriate
            level of abstraction in terms of its attributes and functions.

            NOTE 1 – An object is characterized by its behaviour. An object is distinct from any other object. An object interacts with
            its environment including other objects at its interaction points. An object is informally said to perform functions and
            offer services (an object which makes a function available is said to offer a service). For modelling purposes, these
            functions and services are specified in terms of the behaviour of the object and of its interfaces. An object can perform
            more than one function. A function can be performed by the cooperation of several objects.
            NOTE 2 – Objects include terminal devices (e.g., used by a person to access the network such as mobile phones, personal
            computers, etc.), remote monitoring devices (e.g., cameras, sensors), information devices (e.g., content delivery server),
            products, contents, and resources.
            3.1.3   ubiquitous networking [ITU-T Y.2002]: The ability for persons and/or devices to access services and
            communicate while minimizing technical restrictions regarding where, when and how these services are
            accessed, in the context of the service(s) subscribed to.
            NOTE – Although technical restrictions to access services and communicate may be minimized, other constraints such
            as regulatory, national, provider and environmental constraints may impose further restrictions.
