UAF13 — Figure 9:164 - ActualEnterprisePhase Class Hierarchy Incorrect & Doesn't Match Definitions of Types - An Endeavour etc Isn't a Time Period

  • Key: UAF13-124
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Eclectica Systems Ltd ( Nic Plum)
  • Summary:

    The definitions of ActualEnterprisePhase, WholeLifeEnterprise and EnterpriseMission are:-

    'ActualEnterprisePhase - A time period within which a set of Capabilities are deployed
    WholeLifeEnterprise - A WholeLifeEnterprise is a purposeful endeavor of any size involving people, organizations and supporting systems. It is made up of TemporalParts and StructuralParts

    EnterpriseMission - Mission captures at a high level what you will do to realize your vision.'

    Figure 9:164 defines:-

    1) WholeLifeEnterprise (endeavour) is a ActualEnterprisePhase (time period) - this is incorrect
    2) EnterpriseMission (what you do) is a ActualEnterprisePhase (time period) - this is incorrect
    3) The definition of ActualEnterprisePhase is not atomic - it includes Capabilities. Type definitions should be atomic, not depend on anything else (otherwise you're defining all or part of a triple and if the external element or relationship named changes the definition is invalid)
    4) The definition of WholeLifeEnterprise is similarly non-atomic - it should not include reference to any relationship e.g. temporal or structural for example.
