4. Context: The situations in which the pattern may apply
5. Solution: A resolution of the problem stated in terms that could be applied in many situations
6. Implementation: The fundamental solution principle underlying the pattern
7. Technological Assumptions: What infrastructure must be in place for the implementation to be practical
8. Variants: A brief description of variants or specializations of a pattern

What is a design pattern?

Nice quote from Christopher Alexander:

Each pattern describes a problem that occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice.

Which pretty much sums up my own understanding of design patterns.
