function conversion rules

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

Except where otherwise indicated, the actual value of an expression is converted to the required type using the function conversion rules. These are the rules defined in for converting the supplied argument of a function call to the required type of that argument, as defined in the function signature. The relevant rules are those that apply when XPath 1.0 compatibility mode is set to false.
function implementations

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

Function implementations. Each function in function signatures has a function implementation that enables the function to map instances of its parameter types into an instance of its result type. For a user-defined function, the function implementation is an XQuery expression. For a built-in function or external function, the function implementation is implementation-dependent.

Function implementations. Each function in function signatures has a function implementation that enables the function to map instances of its parameter types into an instance of its result type.
function parameter

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

An xsl:param element may appear as a child of an xsl:function element, before any non-xsl:param children of that element. Such a parameter is known as a function parameter. A function parameter is a local variable with the additional property that its value can be set when the function is called, using a function call in an XPath expression.
function signatures.

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

Function signatures. This component defines the set of functions that are available to be called from within an expression. Each function is uniquely identified by its expanded QName and its arity (number of parameters).

functional adaptation

From Glossary of Terms for Device Independence (2005-01-18) | Glossary for this source

functional user experience

From Glossary of Terms for Device Independence (2005-01-18) | Glossary for this source
