Asset Category |
An Asset Category is a Category used to classify Asset Blocks. There are different kinds of Asset Category that applies only to certain subtypes of Asset Blocks. For instance: . Data Category applies to Information Assets. . Process Family applies to Resource Operating Assets. . Risk Type applies to Functional Assets. |
Asset Property |
Example: . Capabilities (as a functional property). . Environmental conditions. . Directives. |
Asset Property Type |
An Asset Property Type is a classification of Asset Propertys. |
Asset State Type |
An Asset State Type is a temporal slice type of an Asset Type. Examples: . The lifecyle phases of buildings such as a skycraper: construction phase, operation and maintenance phase, decommissioning phase. . The lifecycle phases of a person, such as childhood, adulthood, eldery stage. . The phases of a volcanic eruption: magma accumulation, plinian phase, eruptive phase, effusive phase, declining phase. . The lifecyle phases of a hospital such as construction phase, operation and maintenance phase, renovation and expansion phase, decommissioning phase. |
Asset Type |
An Asset Type is a Class of Individual which is used in the description of the enterprise and its systems, such as Action Process Typees, Department Types, Applications, Location Types, Period Types.
|
Condition Category |
A Condition Category is a class of Condition Property Type. Example: Measurement Types (Performance, Security, Cost), PESTEL (political, economic, social, environmental, legal) It is used to group Condition Property Type(ies) by domain of concerns represented by Family of Measurement.
|
Condition Property |
A Condition Property is a possible value of a Condition Property Type such as a delivery time of 30 minutes, a weight of 20 kg, a high level of confidentiality, stormy conditions. A Condition Property is either a single measure (Measure Property: a weight of 20 kg), an Environmental Property (stormy conditions.) or a Set of Condition Propertiess. Condition Propertys are used to constrain Asset Blocks in the context of non-functional requirement analysis and Value Proposition analysis. Examples: . Cost of 100€ . Delivery time of 30 minutes. . Weight of 20 kg. . Temperature of 18 degree Celcius. |
Condition Property Type |
A Condition Property Type expresses a type of constraint that can be applied to Asset Types. These constraints can be either Measure Property Type (Time, Mass, Cost, ..), Environmental Property Types (Terrain Type, Light conditions, Weather conditions) or a grouping of these (Set of Environmental Condition Type). Condition Property Types are used to constrain Asset Blocks in the context of non-functional requirement analysis and Value Proposition analysis.
|
Individual Asset |
An Individual Asset is an Individual which is used in the description of the enterprise and its systems. Individual Assets can be qualified by Condition Scale Values.
|
Measure Property |
A Measure Property is a possible value of a Measure Property Type such as a delivery time of 30 minutes, a weight of 20 kg, a high level of confidentiality. It represents how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify according to its Constraining Measurable Property. Measure Propertys are used as constraints on Asset Blocks in the context of non-functional requirement analysis and Value Proposition analysis.
|
Whole Life Asset Type |
A Whole Life Asset Type is an Asset Type that is not the temporal slice type of any other Asset Type. Examples: . A type of building such as a skycraper. . A type of person such as a philosopher. . A type of activity such as a volcanic eruption. . A type of facility such as a Hospital. |
