ENTERPRISE H2 Flashcards
- These are used to model the enthusiasm, including the reasons, that instigate the design or change of an enterprise architecture.
- These influence, guide, and constrain the design process of an enterprise architecture.
Motivation Concepts
It is the role of an individual, team, department, or organization that represents their interest in the outcome of the architecture.
Stakeholder
It is an external or internal condition that motivates an organization to define its goals and implement the necessary change to achieve them.
o Driver
It is the result of an analysis of a particular business issue within the enterprise with respect to some drivers.
o Assessment
It is a high-level statement of intent, direction, or desired end state for an organization and its stakeholders.
o Goal
It is a specific statement of need that architectural designers must meet.
o Requirement
It is a factor that averts or hinders the realization of goals.
o Constraint
It is strongly related to the organization’s goals and requirements. It is considered a qualitative statement of intent that should be met by the architecture.
o Principle
It is a result that has been achieved.
o Outcome
It is the relative worth, usefulness, or importance of a core element or an outcome.
o Value
It is the knowledge or expertise present in a business object or its representation, given a particular context.
o Meaning
- This represents what an enterprise has decided to do to realize its goals.
- This is an approach or plan for configuring capabilities and resources of an enterprise undertaken to achieve a goal.
Course of Action
- These are considered the key building blocks of a business, unique and independent from each other, and tend to be stable over time.
- These are typically aimed at achieving some goal or delivering value by realizing an outcome.
- These are abilities that an active structure element, such as an organization, person, or system, possesses.
Capabilities
- These are assets owned and/or controlled by an individual or organization.
- These are structured elements that are assigned to capabilities.
Resources
This business entity is capable of performing behavior.
- Business Actor
It is the responsibility for performing specific behavior, to which an actor can be assigned.
- Business Role
It is an aggregate of two (2) or more active internal business structure elements that work together to perform collective behavior.
- Business Collaboration
It is a point of access where a business service is made available to the environment.
- Business Interface
It is used to model an object type in which several instances may exist within an organization. It represents important information or conceptual elements within a particular business domain.
- Business Object
It is a perceptible form of the information carried by a business object
- Representation
It is considered as an explicitly defined perceptible business behavior. It is mainly used to manifest business functionality to the environment.
- Business Service
It is a sequence of business behaviors that achieve a specific outcome, such as a defined set of products and services.
- Business Process
It is a collection of business behaviors based on a chosen set of criteria closely aligned to an organization, but not explicitly governed by the organization.
- Business Function
It is a unit of collective business behavior collaboratively performed by two (2) or more business roles.
- Business Interaction
It denotes an organizational state change. It is instantaneous and does not have a specific duration.
- Business Event
– It is a coherent collection of services and/or passive structure elements, accompanied by a contract or a set of agreements, which is offered as a whole to customers.
- Product
It is a formal or informal specification of an agreement between a provider and a consumer that specifies the rights and obligations associated with a product and establishes functional and non-functional parameters for interaction.
- Contract
It is an encapsulation of an application’s functionality that is aligned to the implementation structure, which is modular and replaceable.
- Application Component
It is an aggregate of two (2) or more application components working together to perform collective application behavior.
- Application Collaboration
It is a point of access where an application service is made available to users to another application component or a node.
- Application Interface
It is a data that is structured for automated processing.
- Data Object
It is an explicitly defined and visible application behavior. It is used to specify services provided by the business.
- Application Service
It is an automated behavior that can be performed by an application component.
- Application Function
It is a sequence of application behaviors that realizes a specific outcome.
- Application Process
It is a unit of collective application behavior collaboratively performed by two (2) or more application components.
- Application Interaction
It refers to an application behavior that denotes a state of change.
- Application Event
It is a computational or a physical resource that hosts, manipulates, or interacts with other computational or physical resources.
- Node
It is an aggregate of two (2) or more nodes that work together to perform collective behavior.
- Technology Collaboration
It is a point of access where technological services offered by a node can be accessed.
- Technology Interface
It is a physical information technology resource wherein system software and artifacts can be deployed for execution.
- Device
It is a software that supports a business environment in storing, executing, and utilizing applications, including the data deployed within the environment.
- System Software
It is a link between two (2) or more nodes through which the exchange of data or material happens.
- Path
It is a set of structures that connects computer systems or other electronic devices for transmission, routing, and reception of data or information.
- Communication Network
It is a piece of data that is used and/or produced in a software development process or a system deployment and operation.
- Artefact
It is an external visible unit of functionality, provided by one or more nodes accessible through well-defined interfaces.
- Technology Service
It is a behavior element that groups infrastructural behavior, which can be performed by a node.
- Technology Function
It is a sequence of technological behavior that achieves a specific outcome.
- Technology Process
It is a unit of collective technology behavior collaboratively performed by two (2) or more nodes.
- Technology Interaction
It is a technology behavior element that denotes a state change.
- Technology Event
It is a physical machine, tool, or instrument that can create, use, store, move, or transform materials.
- Equipment
It is a physical structure or environment interconnected by distribution networks.
- Facility
It is a physical network used to transport materials, data, or information.
- Distribution Network
It is a tangible matter or physical element that can be accessed by equipment.
- Material
It is a series of actions identified and designed to achieve a specific goal or result within a clearly defined beginning and end date and resource constraints.
- Work Package
It is a behavior element that denotes a state of change related to implementation or migration that can encompass a time attribute.
