BUILDING BLOCK - Unbounded Aggregate

Description	Abstract Concept An Unbounded Aggregate is an Aggregate Entity Block that does not have boundaries and, thereby, that cannot participate to Connection Relationships. Examples: - Operating Eco-System; - Directive.
Super Types	Aggregate Entity Block (from partition: Structural Partition of Aggregate Entity Block)
Functional Domain	Compositionality The purpose of the Compositionality family of concepts is to provide syntactic mechanisms that support the construction of composite Building Blocks.
Dictionary	Dictionary of SysFEAT patterns
Lexical Scope	Block Lexical Scope Container

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
Bounded Member	[*..0]	Bounded Aggregate	Aggregate Entity Block	A Bounded Member is an Entity Member that aggregates a Bounded Aggregate.Bounded Members can be related by means of Connectors which connect an Exit Border of a source Bounded Member to a corresponding Entry Border of a target Bounded Member.
Unbounded Member	[*..0]	Unbounded Aggregate	Aggregate Entity Block	An Unbounded Member is an Entity Member of an Aggregate Entity Block that aggregates an Unbounded Aggregate.Because Entity Members do not have borders, Unbounded Members cannot be related by Connection Relationships (see Bounded Aggregate).
Connector	[*..0]	Connection Relationship	Aggregate Entity Block	A Connector is Block Member that connects a source Bounded Member to a target Bounded Member through their Entry Border and Exit Border.The semantic of Connector is given by their associated Connection Relationship.Examples:. Event that manifests a transition between two states.. Sequences between the end of a process step and the start of another process step.. Interface connection between a service consumer agent and a service provider agent.
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.
