An  Application Component is a functionnal unit of software (java class, COBOL Program, Batch) that is  a consistent, indivisible unit of processing of an Application producing and consuming its Information Outcome Events though APIs (Application Interface).

a)  Application Components are assembled and orchestrated in Applications.

b)  Application Components cannot be directly deployed to Computing Systems: they need to be organized in Deployable Application Packages.

 Application Component is a Micro enterprise asset that sits at the lowest level of Business Software System decomposition.

Example: the "Salary and Wage Calculation" component is an  Application Component that is part of the "Payroll" Application.

A  Computer Device is a Computing Device which provides services directly to the end-user.

 Computer Devices can host data stores and run Application code.

Examples: workstation, laptop computer, smartphone.

A  Computer Server is a Computing Device which provides processing, storage, and network connectivity services to other Computing Devices on a Computer Network.

As a Computing System, it can host data and run Application code..

A  Computing Device is a physical or virtual computer that can host and run software code. Together with their Deployable Application Packages, they provide Information Outcomes.

Examples: Computer Device, Computer Server.

A  Concept is the representation of any tangible or intanglible entity that is of interest to understand the enterprise, its data, resources and activities.

A  Concept is defined through its essential characteristics which can be:

1) A  Concept Property that represents some an immutable factual characteristic such as "name", "amount".

2) A Concept Relationship that represents relationships to other  Concepts.

A  Hardware Equipments are tangible assets (e.g., machinery, tools, IT hardware, vehicles, or production systems) used to execute enterprise operations, deliver services, or produce goods.

a Micro Concrete Hardware System.

Examples:

- Fridge compressor

- Car Engine

A  Logical Data Entity is a logical structure of a Data Entity. As any Data Entity, it has an independent existence and can be uniquely identified.

A  Logical Data Entity is characterized by Logical Relationships it has with other  Logical Data Entity(ies) and by its Attributes.

A  MicroService is a small autonomous unit of software, emphasizing self-management and lightweightness as the means to improve software agility, scalability, and autonomy.

1)  MicroServices are automous or assembled and orchestrated as components of Applications.

2)  MicroServices can be directly deployed to Computing Systems.  MicroServices are both a logical unit of software and a Deployable Package.

3)  MicroServices owns their own data store and dot not have any shared stores with other components.

 MicroService is a Micro enterprise asset that sits at the lower level of Business Software System decomposition.

A  NoSQL Dataset is a Physical Data Entity that represents the structure of a collection of related data held in a data source. The represented data structure can be relational (Table) or NoSQL (triple store, document store, flat files, etc.).

A  NoSQL Dataset consists of three types of NoSQL Field:

1) An Identification MetaField, sometimes called "primary key".

2) Relationship MetaFields used to represent relationships with other  NoSQL Datasets.

3) Value MetaFields used to store values in the  NoSQL Dataset.

 NoSQL Datasets can be defined at design time in the context of data architecture activities. They can also be imported automatically through data discovery.

An  Organizational Position is a type of position held by people when part of a Department Type.

Examples:

- Sales representative

- Developer

- Storekeeper

- Architect

A  State Concept Type is Class of Conceptual Entity which is a state type of another Class of Conceptual Entity.

Example:

- Employee is a state of Person. Its temporal boundaries are "hiring" and "departure" (see Event Concept).

A  Switch is a Network Device used to connect multiple devices within a Computer Network, enabling them to communicate with each other.

A  Switch operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, and it uses MAC (Media Access Control) addresses to forward data between Networking Systems.

A Table is a relational data structure, used as the reference for the switch to production. The  Table is the central element of the relational databases.

A table is accessible by means of a primary key, and if necessary foreign keys; it is described by an ordered sequence of Columns. A  Table is generally derived from a Logical Data Entity or asssociation.
