ENTITY - Model Building Block

Description

Abstract Concept

A Model Building Block is a Building Block used to represent aspects of the reality. It comprises:

- Asset Blocks are used to describe the how the enterprise and its systems operate (function) is their eco-systems.

- Initiatives are used to manage enterprise and systems functional transformations, as well as assurance objectives and activities.

- Governance Instruments are used to ensure that these objectives and activities are understood and fulfilled.

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
Relationship	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship A Relationship is the reification of a Kuratowskis ordered pair of the Elementary Graph, as an Element that represents a directed connection between a source Entity and a target Entity.Relationships are nested within their source Entity. (principle of locality).
Referencing Relationship	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship A Referencing Relationship is a Relationship that points at its target Entity through Reference Adjacency.
Existential Dependency	[1..1]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Dependency relationship is a Relationship where the source Entitys existence depends on the existence of the target Entity.The cardinality of the set of targetted Entity is [1..1].
Existential Independence	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Independence relationship is a Relationship that specifies that the existence the source Entity doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity.The cardinality of set set of targetted Entity is [0..*].
