Parametrituettelon

Parametrituettelon is a structured catalog of parameters used in software systems, data models, and engineering projects to describe configurable values. It serves as a central reference that defines each parameter's properties and semantics, supporting configuration, validation, documentation, and reproducibility. In practice, a parametrituettelon typically includes fields such as: name, data type, default value, allowed range or set of values, units, description, constraints, source or origin, status (active, deprecated), version, and provenance. It may also record applicability (scope) such as project, module, or environment.

The catalog enables consistent configuration management by providing machine-readable and human-readable representations. It is commonly stored in tabular formats like CSV or spreadsheets, and in machine-readable schemas such as JSON Schema, YAML, or XML. Automated tooling can generate configuration files, validate inputs, or generate API documentation from the parametrituettelon.

Lifecycle and governance are important: creation, review, approval, versioning, and deprecation policies help maintain accuracy. When changes occur, the parametrituettelon can be versioned and migrations planned to avoid breaking configurations. Relationships to other artifacts, such as data models, interfaces, and deployment configurations, are typically recorded to ensure traceability.

Examples include entries like: Parameter: max_connections; Type: integer; Default: 100; Constraints: min 1, max 1000; Description: Maximum concurrent connections; Unit: none; Source: system_config.
