Dragon1 Definition for Viewer:
A viewer is a person, such as a stakeholder, who looks at a visualization (e.g., a diagram, blueprint, landscape, or roadmap) and sees a view of a model.

What is a Viewer?

A viewer is a person, for example, a stakeholder, looking at a visualization (a diagram, blueprint, landscape, or roadmap) and, therefore, seeing a view of a model.

We distinguish viewers because not only stakeholders look at architecture visualizations. Also, people from the contractors in projects look at the visualizations. But they are not stakeholders.

Viewers, Contributors and Editors

In many software applications and tools, a distinction is made between different roles that can perform different tasks in software environments such as Dragon1.

A viewer can view published atlases, visualizations, and views in the Viewer and leave comments on the visualizations via the Viewer.

A contributor can view and edit (but not copy or delete) existing entities/objects in all applications of Dragon1. For example, the name, type, or attribute.

An editor can view, edit, and create entities/objects in all applications of Dragon1 (and also edit, copy, and delete the objects), such as atlas, visualization, process, application, view, relations, etc.
