--- abstract: 'A foundation for closing the gap between biometrics in the narrower and the broader perspective is presented trough a conceptualization of biometric systems in both perspectives. A clear distinction between verification, identification and classification systems is made as well as shown that there are additional classes of biometric systems. In the end a Unified Modeling Language model is developed showing the connections between the two perspectives.' altloc: - http://ijcsi.org/papers/2-1-7.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Schatten given: 'Markus ' honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Baca given: 'Miroslav ' honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Cubrilo given: 'Mirko ' honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2009-08 date_type: published datestamp: 2009-11-14 11:35:42 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/66/90 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 6690 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/6690/1/2%2D1%2D7.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'biometrics, biometric system, set mappings, conceptualization, classification' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:57:31 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: 'M.
