Concrete Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
Concept Lineage |
Concept Lineage is about tracking the flow of information. It is necessary to guarantee the quality, usability and security of business data. For large organizations, it is also a key conformity legal requirement: BCBS 239, Solvency II. Business Data Lineage is defined as a business data life cycle that describes the source of business data and where it moves over time. |
Data Catalog |
A Data Catalog is an Assurance System of Data Assets, ensuring understanding, trust, compliance and confidence of enterprise data. This includes: 1. Relationship with Enterprise Glossary to provide business context to metadata. 2. Data policy definition and enforcement to ensure data quality. 3. Data Lineage to master data provenance: where data comes from, how data is transformed, and where it is used. |
|
Data Control |
A Data Control is about tracking the quality of information as defined by Data Quality Policy(ies). |

|
Data Quality Measure |
Data Quality Measure is what should be enforced to ensure the quality of Data |
Governance Committee |
A Governance Committee is a group of Stakeholders that contributes to architecting and assurance activities and governs Enduring Initiatives. |
|
Individual Stakeholder |
An Individual Stakeholder is a person with a Stakeholder role in architecting & assurance activities. |
|
Management Initiative Committee |
A Management Initiative Committee is a Governing Team responsible for overseeing the administration of a Management System. |
|
Physical Data Lineage |
Business Data lineage is about tracking the flow of information. It is necessary to guarantee the quality, usability and security of business data. For large organizations, it is also a key conformity legal requirement: BCBS 239, Solvency II. Business Data Lineage is defined as a business data life cycle that describes the source of business data and where it moves over time. |

Business Resource Process |
A Business Resource Process is a Resource Process which is conducted by Business Agents (physical resources such as Org-Unit, System of Resources ,Business Systems) and which describes how these entities act to produce and consume Business Outcome Events. Business Resource Processes include Business Processes and System Processes,
|
|
Business Software System |
A Business Software System is a Business System used by Business Operations, that represents all granularities of software - ranging from MicroServices to enterprise wide Application Systems - used by Business Operations. All Business Software Systems share the following characteristics: 1) They provide Functionalitys. 2) They expose APIs (Application Interfaces) through which they deliver Information Outcome Events. 3) They handle datastores defined by Physical Data Domains. 4) They perform and participate to System Processes. |
|
Conceptual Entity |
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.

|
Data Assurance Case |
A Data Assurance Case is a structured argument, supported by evidence, intended to justify that a data is acceptably assured relative to a concern (such as quality, safety, security or privacy) in the intended operating environment. The operating environment includes: 1. Policies related to the use of data in the organization (privacy policy, regulation policy, ...). 2. Data quality policies defined by the organization. 3. Risk to be mitigated in the use, consumption and sharing of data by the organization. 4. Control directives to be followed in the use, consumption and sharing of data by the organization.
|
|
Data Assurance Instrument |
A Data Assurance Instrument is a resource or course of actions used by an Data Catalog to achieve its objectives. For instance: Actions plans are course of actions aimed at solving Data breaches. Data Controls are mechanisms used to ensure data quality and data integrity Data Processors are used to processings involved in Data Lineages. |
|
Data Lineage |
A Data Lineage is about tracking the flow of information from source Information Assets to final Information Assets. It is necessary to guarantee the quality, usability and security of business data. For large organizations, it is also a key conformity legal requirement: BCBS 239, Solvency II. Business Data Lineage is defined as a business data life cycle that describes the source of business data and where it moves over time. |
|
Data Processor |
A Data Processor is the collection and manipulation of items of data to produce meaningful information. In this sense it can be considered a subset of information processing, the change (processing) of information in any manner detectable by an observer. |
|
Information Entity |
An Information Entity is an Information Asset that is not fundamentally defined by its attributes, but rather by its continuity. An Information Entity evolves over time and has states. For instance a person is an Information Entity. Employe is a state of a person. An Information Entity has relationships to other Information Entitys and can have Information Propertys.
|
|
Management System |
A Management System is a mezzo Enduring Initiative within an Enterprise, aimed at creating, maintaining, evaluating, evolving, and operating a collection of essential Functional Architecture Assets of the Enterprise. A Management System may transcend organisational boundaries and consequently requires an integrated team working under the direction of a Management Initiative Committee. |
|
Org-Unit |

Organization |
An Organization is a group of people who share a common purpose and establish a functional division of labor in pursuit of their common purpose. It is the relationships between its members in the pursuit of their common purpose that give unity and identity to an organization.
|
|
Physical Data Entity |
A Physical Data Entity is a representation the physical structure of a Data Entity as it will be stored in a DBMS. A Physical Data Entity has an independent existence and can be uniquely identified. A Physical Data Entity is characterized by Physical Relationships it has with other Physical Data Entity(ies) and by Physical Data Property(ies).
