 ActualEnterprisePhase |
A time period within which a set of Capabilities are deployed References: OMG - UAF - ActualEnterprisePhase |
Enterprise Initiative |
An Enterprise Initiative is a past, current or future state of the enterprise. Each stage represents an initiative comprising a purposeful set of activities whose primary purpose is focused on achieving a set of clearly defined objectives that may transcend organisational boundaries and consequently require integrated team working under the direction of an Architecture Governance Committee. |

Set of Condition Properties |
A Set of Condition Properties is a 'And' combination of Condition Propertys. Example: . Delivery time of 30 minutes, at a cost ranging between $8.50 and $10, in stormy conditions. References: OMG - UAF - ActualMeasurementSet |
| ActualOrganizationalResource (as Stakeholder) |
Abstract element for an ActualOrganization, ActualPerson or ActualPost. References: OMG - UAF - ActualOrganizationalResource |
Individual Stakeholder |
An Individual Stakeholder is a person with a Stakeholder role in architecting & assurance activities. |
| ActualStrategicPhase |
A phase of an actual enterprise, mission, ValueStream or EnduringTask endeavor. References: OMG - UAF - ActualStrategicPhase |
Management Stage |
A Management Stage is a past, current or future state of a Management System. Each Management Stage represents a Management Initiative comprising a purposeful set of activities whose primary purpose is focused on achieving a set of clearly defined objectives assigned to Functional Assets managed in the Management System.

| ArchitecturalDescription |
An Architecture Description is a work product used to express the Architecture of some System Of Interest. It provides executive-level summary information about the architecture description in a consistent form to allow quick reference and comparison between architecture descriptions -- It includes assumptions, constraints, and limitations that may affect high-level decisions relating to an architecture-based work program.

Enterprise Architecting & Management |
The Enterprise Architecting & Management domain provides the concepts and tools required for Agile@Scale transformation Initiatives and associated Management Systems, along with their governing bodies (Governing Team).

Operating Eco-System |
An Operating Eco-System is an Operating Context in which an Agent exists or lives for a specific purpose, interacting with partners. For instance, the operating context of an enterprise includes its customers and suppliers.

| Concern |
The UAF concept of Concern comes from ISO 42010: ISO 42010 - Concern. matter of relevance or importance to a stakeholder (3.17) Note 1 to entry: concerns can be identified with regards to an entity of interest (3.12) or independently, such as with regards to environment, scenario, situation or use case of that entity. Note 2 to entry: In this document, interest in an entity is intended to encompass interest in that entity’s environment (3.13), life cycle, architecture (3.2), requirements, design, implementation and operation. Such interests are captured via aspects (3.9), concerns and stakeholder perspectives (3.18). Note 3 to entry: The identification of a concern is often the result of prior knowledge, experience and praxis in the domain to which the concern applies. Note 4 to entry: See 5.2.3 for more discussion and examples. In UAF, the Concern concept is not connected to any other concept and is isolated. In SysFEAT, concern is mapped to Driver which provides closer connection with Stakeholders interests. References: ISO 42010 - Concern OMG - UAF - Concern OpenGroup - TOGAF - Definitions - Concern |
