3.2.1.6.1.2 Non-Persisted Property Definition Instance

A Non-Persisted Property Definition Instance is a type of Property Definition (section 3.2.1.6.1), which has all the properties of a property definition.

Changes, including deletion, that are made to a Non-Persisted Property Definition Instance are either discarded after use or applied to the associated Persisted Property Definition. There can be zero or more Non-Persisted Property Definition Instances for each Persisted Property Definition.
