Describes concepts used to describe operational contexts in the SAF Operational Domain and related concepts.

Concept	Documentation
System Of Interest	An abstract element representing a SOI. Base class for specific kinds of SOIs.
Operational Process	An Operational Process captures activity-based operational behavior including scenarios, activity actions, and operational exchange flows, e.g., including information, materials, natural resources, etc. Aliases: UAF::Operational Activity NAF::Logical Activity
Operational Story	The Operational Story represents one or more Operational Use Cases in the Usage Scenario identified by the Operational Context. The Operational Story is described as narrative story-telling.
Operational Context	An Operational Context is representing a separate Usage Scenario with a specific configuration of Operational Performers, these are interacting in the Scenario exhibiting a specific identified Operational Capability. One or more Operational Contexts meaningful for the Operational Domain are to be identified. Aliases: UAF::HighLevelOperationalConcept
Operational Performer	An Operational Performer is an element of the Operational Context that is capable to perform Operational Process Activities contributing to a specific identified Operational Capability. An Operational Performer may be any kind of organization, person, or even a system playing a role in one or more Operational Contexts. Aliases: UAF::OperationalPerformer
System Context Element	An abstract element representing a System Context Element. Base class for specific kinds of Context Elements.
Operational Context Role	An Operational Context Role represents a participant in an Operational context. It is interacting with other roles of the given Operational Context. Specific characteristics and features or, in case of persons or organizational units, knowledge and skills are assigned to a role necessary for the execution of the performed Operational Processes.
OSYtakingPlaceInOCT	Specifies the fact that an Operational Story occurs in a certain Operational Context. Note: When parts of an Operational Story do occur in several contexts, they shall be duplicated.
SCEactingForOPR	Specifies the fact that a System Context Element is acting for the benefit of an Operational Performer.
SOIactingForOPR	Specifies the fact that a SOI is acting for the benefit of an Operational Performer.
SSHrepresentingOPR	Specifies the fact that a SOI Stakeholder is representing an Operational Performer.
SCErepresentedBySSH	Specifies the fact that a System Context Element is represented by a SOI Stakeholder.
System of Interest Stakeholder	An individual, team, or organization (or classes thereof) with interests in, or concerns relative to, a system. It may be involved in any life cycle phase of the System. The Stakeholder represents a class or kind of Stakeholders. Stakeholders have a certain involvement: Stakeholder Involvement captures the influence of a project specific Stakeholder on the System. Stakeholder Involvement is characterized by * Contact Person * Kind of involvement * Life Cycle Phases involved * Relevance decision if and up to which degree Stakeholder is considered * Rationale for decision when Stakeholder is not considered
OPRactingInOSY	Specifies the fact that an Operational Performer acts in an Operational Story.
OPRcomposedOF	Specifies the fact that an Operational Performer consists of one or more Operational Performers.
OPRexhibitingOCY	Specifies the fact that an Operational Performer exhibits an Operational Capability under specific environmental conditions.
Operational Capability	A Operational Capability is a high-level description or specification of an organizational unit's ability to execute a specified course of action, to implement a business process or to provide a service. Operational Capabilities typically require people, processes, infrastructure, technology and supporting systems to be implemented. A Operational Capability is an enduring element, its implementation may change over time. A necessary or desired change of a Operational Capability triggers the updated of involved systems or the integration new systems. Aliases: UAF::Capability NAF4::Capability
OPRcapableOFperformingOPS	Specifies the fact that an Operational Performer performs an Operational Activity. Traceability from Operational Activities to Operational Performers is derived via assignment of Operational Action to Operational Roles. Aliases: UAF::IsCapableToPerform
