Short Description
A scope-file is a file that contains the specification of a specific scope. To faciliate authors, a self-explanatory template file is available.
PurposeScopes enable people to focus, which is important as people's short-term memory is limited to 7 +/- 2 concepts (with attributes) [(Miller, 1956)](http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Miller/). Hence, defining a scope - what is in it and what is not - is relevant as well.
Criterion
a file that defines/specifies a scope.
