SysFEAT - Systemic Framework for Enterprise Architecture & Transformation

CLASS OF CLASS OF INDIVIDUAL - Conceptual Entity

Description

Abstract Concept

A Conceptual Entity is the representation of any tangible or intanglible resource or state of such resource that is of interest to understand the enterprises, its data, resources and activities.

A Conceptual Entity is either a Concept or a State Concept.

Example:

- "Person" is a Conceptual Entity of type Concept, Its temporal boundaries are is birth and its death (see Event Concept).

- "Employee" is a Conceptual Entity of type State Concept: it is a state of a "person". Its temporal boundaries are its hiring and its departure.

Structural Partition of Conceptual Entity: a Conceptual Entity is either a Concept or a State Concept

Functional Domain: Enterprise Glossary

The Enterprise Glossary domain comprises the Concepts, relationships and Terms used to build the glossary of an enterprise.

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
Specialized Business Concept	[*..0]	Conceptual Entity	Conceptual Entity
Concept Attribute	[*..0]	Concept Property	Conceptual Entity	Immutable characteristics of a Conceptual Entity.The default cardinality is [0..1] which means that Concept Property optional.
End Event	[*..0]	Event Concept	Conceptual Entity
Intermediate Event	[*..0]	Event Concept	Conceptual Entity
Start Event	[*..0]	Event Concept	Conceptual Entity
Concept Relationship	[*..0]	Conceptual Entity	Conceptual Entity	Relationship between a source Conceptual Entity and a target Conceptual Entity.Relationsnhips can be between Concepts, between State Concepts or between Concepts and State Concepts.For instance, the Butterfly State Concept has a relationship with the Wing Concept.
Categorization	[*..0]	Category	Class of Bounded Individual	Categorization is a Classification of a Class of Bounded Individual by a Family of Class called Category.
Qualification	[*..0]	Class of Property	Class of Bounded Individual	A Specialization from a Class of Bounded Individual to a Class of Property that asserts all members of the Class of Bounded Individual have the Class of Property.
Start Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual
End Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual
Temporal Sequencing Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual
Aggregate Specialization	[*..0]	Class of Bounded Individual	Class of Bounded Individual	An Aggregate Specialization is a Specialization that is refied as an Unbounded Member of a Class of Bounded Individual.Example:. The enforcement of a rule in a process (Rule Enforcement) is a refied Specialization.
Realized Information Asset	[*..0]	Information Asset	Information Asset
Data Category	[*..0]	Data Category	Information Asset	Classification of an Information Asset as belonging to a Data Category.
Information Classification	[*..0]	Data Category	Information Asset	Classification of an Information Asset by a Data Category.
Data Risk	[*..0]	Data Risk Type	Information Asset	A Data Risk is Risk that refers to the potential for loss resulting from inadequate structure and usage of an Information Asset.
Realized Functional Asset	[*..0]	Functional Asset	Functional Asset	A kind of specialization between an implementing Functional Asset and its abstract Realized Functional Asset.Realization relationships are the foundation to establish the mapping between Functional Assets that belong to different Conceptualization Levels.
Policy Conformance	[*..0]	Policy	Functional Asset	A Policy Conformance is the conformity requirement that applies a Functional Asset.
Hierarchical Member	[*..0]	Building Block	Aggregate Block	A Hierarchical Member is an Aggregate Member that is also a Block Lexical Scope for the Building Block it aggregates: it relates its aggregated block by nesting (see Nesting Relationship).Hierarchical Members are used to build hierarchical structures of Building Blocks, in constrast to Block Members which are used to build network structures of Building Blocks.
Block Member	[*..0]	Building Block	Aggregate Block	A Block Member is an Aggregate Member that aggregates its releated Building Block by reference (see Referencing Relationship).Block Members are used to build network structures of Building Blocks while Hierarchical Members are used to build hierarchical structures of Building Blocks.
Enumerated Definition	[1..1]	Concept	Conceptual Entity
Enumerated Definition	[1..1]	State Concept	Conceptual Entity
