[[Category:Templates]]
This template is meant to show a medium sized box containing all entry points into the knowledge system. It is used a.o. on the front page.

It looks like this:
----
</noinclude>{|class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="width:95%; margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; clear: center; "
!style="background:#{{BGColour01}}; color:#{{FGColour03}};"|Where to start?

|Depending on what you want to know or what you are looking for, several approaches exist to explore the contents of the OIAm Repository. These common entry points exist:

* You want to have a quick overview of the infrastructure landscape? Start discovering it:
** By checking [[:Category:Working Area|Working Area]] and [[:Category:Environment|Environment]] descriptions to get an idea of the context of the landscape.
** To see what kind of infrastructure solutions are present, check out [[:Category:Pattern Type|Pattern Type]]s for universal solution specimens or [[:Category:Pattern Variant|Pattern Variant]]s for specific solution recipes that are used to shape designs of infrastructure solutions in the particular landscape that is contained by this repository.

* You want to know what (universal) kinds of infrastructure functions exist? Check out the [[Building Block Type Overview|Building Block Types]] in this repository.

* You want to know what particular instances of kinds of infrastructure function are contained by this knowledge base? Visit the section with [[Building Block Variant|Building Block Variant]]s. Building Block Variants can be regarded as recipes or molds that can be used to guide and shape the designs of single infrastructure functions, so if you are a (project) architect, designer or engineer, this information might be of special interest to you.

* You want to know what (universal) kinds of infrastructure solutions exist? Check out the [[Pattern Type|Pattern Type]]s.

* You want to know what particular instances of kinds of infrastructure solutions are contained by this knowledge base? Check out [[Pattern Variant|Pattern Variant]]s. Pattern Variants can be regarded as recipes or molds that can be used to guide and shape the designs of infrastructure solutions, so if you are a solution architect, designer or engineer, this information might be of special interest to you.

* You want to know more about the way this repository deals with Quality aspects? Check what Quality Attributes are defined, how they are elaborated, what classes and/or permutations exist, what pre-defined values are assigned, or what design guidelines are attached to certain Quality Attributes. Visit [[Quality Attribute Overview|Quality Attribute]] definitions in this knowledge system to learn more.
