Description

Abstract Concept

A Conceptual Entity Asset is the representation of any type of tangible or intanglible resource, or its respective state, that is critical for comprehending an enterprise, including its data, resources, and activities.

Similar to any Information Asset, a Conceptual Entity Asset can be classified into three categories:

1) Conceptual Entitys denote entities that can change over time.

2) Event Concepts embody the temporal boundaries associated with Conceptual Entitys.

3) Concept Propertys represent immutable characteristics of Conceptual Entitys.

Structural Partition of Conceptual Entity Asset: a Conceptual Entity Asset is either an Event Concept, a Conceptual Entity, a Concept Property v, a Concept View or a Class of Conceptual Entity

Functional Domain: Enterprise Glossary

The Enterprise Glossary domain comprises the Concepts, relationships and Terms used to build the glossary of an enterprise.

Information Classification	[*..0]	Data Category	Information Asset	Classification of an Information Asset by a Data Category.
Data Risk	[*..0]	Data Risk Type	Information Asset	A Data Risk is Risk that refers to the potential for loss resulting from inadequate structure and usage of an Information Asset.
Realized Functional Asset	[*..0]	Functional Asset	Functional Asset	Abstract Relationship A kind of specialization between an implementing Functional Asset and its abstract Realized Functional Asset.Realization relationships are the foundation to establish the mapping between Functional Assets that belong to different Conceptualization Levels.
Policy Conformance	[*..0]	Policy	Functional Asset	A Policy Conformance is the conformity requirement that applies a Functional Asset.
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..*].

Aggregate Composition Type	[*..0]	Class of Bounded Individual	Class of Bounded Individual	Abstract Relationship An Aggregate Composition Type is a reified flavor of Composition Type whereby the referenced Class of Individual is aggregated in its parent (whole) Class of Bounded Individual.Example:1) A Process Step is the reification of the composition of a child process in a parent process.2)
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.
