is

    exception Failure inherits Failure from Standard;

    class MapOfFunctions instantiates DataMap from TCollection(AsciiString from TCollection ,Function from OSD, AsciiString from TCollection);

    returns Transient from Standard
    raises Failure  from Plugin;

    AdditionalPluginMap
    returns Manager from Resource;
    ---C++    : return const &
    ---Purpose: Returns a global map of {guid, plugin_library} pairs.
    --          The Load() method will use this map to search for plugins if and only if
    --          the GUID is not found in the Plugin file specified by the CSF_PluginDefaults
    --          (or CSF_PluginUserDefaults) environment variable, or if they are not defined.
    --
    --          This allows to populate this additional resource manager
    --          in run-time and to avoid using the above environment variables.
    --          This map must be populated (using Resource_Manager::SetResource() method)
    --          following syntax conventions of the Plugin file, for instance:
    --          const Handle(Resource_Manager)& aPluginMap = Plugin::AdditionalPluginMap();
    --          aPluginMap->SetResource ("ad696000-5b34-11d1-b5ba-00a0c9064368.Location", "TKStdSchema");
