SysFEAT - Systemic Framework for Enterprise Architecture & Transformationk

BUILDING BLOCK - Information Asset

Description	Abstract Concept An Information Asset represents anything that can be communicated or memorized by an Agent to produce and react to Outcome Events. An Information Asset is either an Information Entity or an Information Property. The difference lies in their relationship to change and to time. Information Entity(ies) can change over time and have a lifeycle while Information Propertys are immutable characteristics. Conceptualization Levels of Information Asset: an Information Asset is either a Domain Asset or a Data Asset Structural Partition of Information Asset: an Information Asset is either an Information Property or an Information Entity

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	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.
Connector	[*..0]	Connection Relationship	Aggregate Entity Block	A Connector is Block Member that connects a source Bounded Member to a target Bounded Member through their Entry Border and Exit Border.The semantic of Connector is given by their associated Connection Relationship.Examples:. Event that manifests a transition between two states.. Sequences between the end of a process step and the start of another process step.. Interface connection between a service consumer agent and a service provider agent.
Composition Type	[*..0]	Class of Individual	Class of Individual	Composition Type is the powertype of Composition (Whole/Part).
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.
