Block Collection | Abstract A Block Collection is an Entity Element that is a grouping of Building Blocks. The grouping of Building Blocks can be achieved either by reference (Referencing Relationship) or by nesting (Nesting Relationship), in which case the Block Collection serves as a Lexical Scope. Example: - Container Package as a Block Lexical Scope. - Asset Portfolio as a pure Block Collection. |

Building Block | Abstract A Building Block is an autonomous, Entity Element that contributes to the makeup of other Building Blocks. Building Blocks can be either reusable entities (packaged in Containers) or be local to the Aggregate Block that references them (see Block Lexical Scope and Hierarchical Member). Examples: - Functionality(ies), Business Process(es), Data Entity(ies), Tags, ARE Building Blocks. - Process Steps or Attributes of a data entity ARE NOT Building Blocks. They are members on an internal structure (see Aggregate Member). |
