A  Behavioral Rule is a Directive intended to guide the Behavior of Agent Types, in compliance with enterprise Policy(ies) or regulations.

Often, a  Behavioral Rule is derived from a Policy.  Behavioral Rules are enforced in Processes and Agent Types.

A  Directive is an authoritative declaration that indicates how Agents and their Behaviors should be (or should not be) in the enterprise.

Specifically, a  Directive defines, constrains or liberates some aspects of an Agent and its Behaviors. As such,  Directives shall be considered as constraning  Asset Propertys.

 Directives are intended to assert agent structures or to control or influence their Behaviors.  Directives are stated in declarative form.

An  Information Asset  represents anything that can be communicated or memorized by an Agent Type to produce and react to Outcome Events.

An  Information Asset is either an Information Entity or an  Information Property.
The difference lies in their relationship to change and to time. Information Entity(ies) can change over time and have a lifeycle while  Information Propertys are immutable characteristics.

A  Policy is a Directive that is not directly enforceable whose purpose is to govern, guide or constrain the structure and Behavior Type of Agent Types in the enterprise.

Policies provide the basis for rules and govern Behavior Types carried out by Agent Types.

Example of Policys are Regulation Articles, Business Policys or Architecture principles.

A  Policy Asset is any topic related to policy definitions.

It ranges from the different kinds of Directives (Business Policy, Architecture principle, Behavioral Rule, etc.),  to classification of policies (Policy Category) up to an entire set of policies (Policy Framework).

A  Policy Framework is a set of Policy Assets, defined in laws published by governements or in policy frameworks defined by the enterprise.

Both Business Policy Frameworks and Regulatory Frameworks are Policy Framework(ies).
