SysFEAT - Systemic Framework for Enterprise Architecture & Transformation

CLASS OF CLASS OF INDIVIDUAL - Functional Asset

Description

Abstract Concept

Functional Assets encompasse all Asset Types used to describe why and how systems operate/function. This includes the Operating Eco-System where system operates to fulfill these purposes (Agent Types and their Behavior Types).

Functional Assets include:

1. Blocks defining results of Behavior Types of the enterprise or its sub-systems, that benefit to it internal or external customers : Outcome Event,

2. Blocks used to describe information: Information Asset.

3. Blocks used to describe how the enterprise operates: Operating Asset Types (Agent Type, Behavior Type, Service Interface).

All Functional Assets are constrained by Policys and are exposed to Risk Types.

Conceptualization Levels of Functional Asset: a Functional Asset is either a Resource Functional Asset or a Conceptual Functional Asset
Structural Partition of Functional Asset: a Functional Asset is either an Operating Eco-System, an Information Asset, an Operating Asset Type or a Behavioral Event

Functional Domain: System Operating Framework - SOF

The System Operating Framework - SOF models how an active system (Agent Type) operates/functions (Behavior Type) in its Operating Eco-System to produce Outcome Events that benefit (value) to other Agent Types or affect (have an effect upon) these Agent Types.

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
Specialized Functional Asset	[*..0]	Functional Asset	Functional Asset	Abstract Relationship
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.
Risk	[*..0]	Risk Type	Functional Asset	Abstract Relationship A Risk refers to the potential for loss resulting from inadequate structure or behavior of a Functional Asset.
Start Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual	Abstract Relationship
End Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual	Abstract Relationship
Temporal Sequencing Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual	Abstract Relationship
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.
Enumerated Definition	[1..1]	Operating Eco-System	Functional Asset
Enumerated Definition	[1..1]	Information Asset	Functional Asset
Enumerated Definition	[1..1]	Operating Asset Type	Functional Asset
Enumerated Definition	[1..1]	Behavioral Event	Functional Asset
