SysFEAT - Systemic Framework for Enterprise Architecture & Transformation

CLASS OF CLASS OF INDIVIDUAL - 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 Conceptual Entity Asset or a Data Asset
Structural Partition of Information Asset: an Information Asset is either an Information Property or an Information Entity

Functional Domain: Information Assets

The Information Assets domain describes top level concepts used to describe information.

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
Specialized Information Asset	[*..0]	Information Asset	Information Asset
Realized Information Asset	[*..0]	Information Asset	Information Asset
Data Category	[*..0]	Data Category	Information Asset	Classification of an Information Asset as belonging to a Data Category.
Information Classification	[*..0]	Data Category	Information Asset	Classification of an Information Asset by a Data Category.
Information Asset Relationship	[*..0]	Information Asset	Information Asset	An Information Asset Relationship is a characteristic of an Information Asset.It can be either an Information Relationship or a Property Component.
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.
Start Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual
End Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual
Temporal Sequencing Type	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding Type	Class of Bounded Individual
Aggregate Composition Type	[*..0]	Class of Bounded Individual	Class of Bounded Individual	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.
Dependency Relationship	[1..1]	Entity	Entity	A Dependency Relationship is a Relationship that specifies the existential dependency of the sourceRelationship on its target Relationship.The cardinality to the target Entity is [1..1].
Enumerated Definition	[1..1]	Information Property	Information Asset
Enumerated Definition	[1..1]	Information Entity	Information Asset
