Imminent New System Views
• SV-1a Interface Description. Shows interfaces (Resource Flows) between Systems,
Services, and/or Person Types
• SV-1b Performer Configuration Diagram. Interface Description plus composition
(whole-parts) of Resources involved. If Locations are involved in the configuration,
relationships to Resources.
• SV-1c Functional Allocation. Activities (System Functions) performed by Systems,
Services, and Person Types.
• SV-1d Organizational Resources. Shows Resources that are part of (whole-part)
Organizations.
• SV-1e Organizational Dependencies. Shows Organizations whose Activities are
reified by System Functions (Activities) performed by Performer Configurations.
All Views should show traceability to higher-order reifications, other views that
constitute requirements, and/or other non-view requirements. [ASD 2012]
My note: NOT sure how SV-1d would differ from relations represent-able via OV-4.

Overspecialization Kills: Natural Evidence
Simple design is most commonly transcendental. All Ammonite arthropods are extinct,
only a few Ceriatite varieties still exist, and no decline in Goniatites has been observed.

How to Map Information sets? Very Laboriously!
• Correlate Terms
Complete matches—Equivalence—ideal; usually a low %
Partial matches common
Names match, definition Semantics differ
Names differ, definition Semantics match or similar
Names & Semantics match, Relations to other terms differ
• Correlate Taxonomies?
Mappings require selection of one (1) base set
Forces “baking” mappings in to an information set (!)
• Correlate Ontologies?
– Possible only if Relation temporal Semantics match
• Mapping is imprecise (i.e., Earned Value?)
