John Cornellier asked:
>>>
I want to describe the updateability of a data model. The idea is that the
data is not static, but dynamic. Some factors can affect the updateability,
e.g. multiuser, locks, dependencies, etc.
<<<
How about:
"The extent to which the system allows you to update it..."
Or:
"Scope / range / extent / scale / inclusiveness of update" or "ability to
update"
Or:
Ku, the update success factor (if its value is less than 1, the update is
not complete)
Okay, I only really mean the middle suggestion, but it is Friday... I can't
think of any single word; I would have to write around it if I was facing
the same problem.
