BUILDING BLOCK - Operating Asset

Description	Abstract Concept An Operating Asset is a Functional Asset that describes the way Outcome Events are produced and consumed: how (Behaviors) and by whom (Agents). Operating Assets fulfill Capability(ies) (Fulfilled Capability). As any Functional Architecture Asset, Operating Assets are subject to Policy Conformances. In addition, they define Rule Enforcements to indicate how Policy Conformances are met. Conceptualization Levels of Operating Asset: an Operating Asset is either a Conceptual Operating Asset or a Resource Operating Asset Systemic Levels of Operating Asset: an Operating Asset is either a Macro Operating Asset, a Mezzo Operating Asset or a Micro Operating Asset Structural Partition of Operating Asset: an Operating Asset is either an Agent or a Behavior
