 Business Interface

Business Interface is not directly represented in SysFEAT.

Rational:
SEA
F does not differentiate between internal and external active structures, as the External Active Structure classification contains only one subtype: Interface. Instead, SEAF focuses on two interface types: the provider interface for service delivery and the requester interface for service consumption.

Rational:
SEAMF does not distinguish between internal and external behaviors. The classification of External Behavior Elements is redundant, as it contains only a single subtype: Service.

 Contract A contract represents a formal or informal specification of an agreement between a provider and a consumer that specifies the rights and obligations associated with a product and establishes functional and non-functional parameters for interaction.

Contract is not directly represented in SysFEAT.

Rational:
The concept of Contract in ArchiMate is not formally connected to Product.
In SEAMF and BACM, contract is associated to Value Proposition and Product Capabilities.
