Description
Model is a collection of concepts – a concept is either an element or a relationship
An element is either a behavior element, a structure element, a motivation element, or a composite element
Note that these are abstract concepts; they are not intended to be used directly in models. To signify this, they are depicted in white with labels in italics.

 Behavior Element   Behavior Type
Behavior Type is an Operating Asset Type that describes any action or reaction of an Agent Type to external or internal Behavioral Events.  Behavior Types include Action Process Typees (action), Interaction Process Types (stories) or interactions (Service Interface).
The course of actions of a  Behavior Type is constrained ( Rule Enforcement) by the application of Behavioral Rules that define what is allowed and not allowed to do.

  Entity
An  Entity is a distinct, identifiable Element that has a proper existence (living or non living). It is accessible by some referencing mechanism and can establish elementary relationships (Relationship) to other  Entitys.
The  Entity class is the powerinstance of Class of Entity: all subtypes of  Entity are instances of Class of Entity.

 Model   Container
Container is a collection of Building Blocks whose existence and meaning are defined by the  Container.
Container is both:
1. A Lexical Scope: the meaning and usage of a Building Block is only applicable within the context of the  Container to which it belongs.
2. A universe of discourse: the complete range of Building Blocks that are expressed, assumed, or implied in an architecture domain.
Examples:
- Library
- Enterprise

 Structure Element   Agent Type
An  Agent Type is an Operating Asset Type which is able to participate actively to Behavior Types, to produce and react to Outcome Events.
1.  Agent Types participate to Action Process Typees (Active Participant) and/or conduct Action Process Typees (Performed Process).
2.  Agent Types participate to Interaction Process Type (Scenario Participant) describing how they interact with other  Agent Types.
These actions and interactions define  Agent Types boundaries described by Service Interfaces.

  Entity
An  Entity is a distinct, identifiable Element that has a proper existence (living or non living). It is accessible by some referencing mechanism and can establish elementary relationships (Relationship) to other  Entitys.
The  Entity class is the powerinstance of Class of Entity: all subtypes of  Entity are instances of Class of Entity.


  Functional Asset
 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.
