P1 — Resource Taxonomy

Purpose & Usage

The P1 Viewpoint is concerned with the Identification of Active Resources (Physical) and Physical Behaviour and their mapping to Conceptual, Service and Logical building blocks and their organization into taxonomies.

• Capability Delivery.
• Service Implementation.
• Identifying Resource Taxonomies.
• Identification of applicable protocols.
• Forecasting technology readiness against time.
• HR trends analysis.
• Recruitment planning.
• Planning technology insertion.
• Input to options analysis.

Scope

• Shall contain all Physical Active Resources organized into specialization taxonomies and Resource Functions, and their groupings, relevant for the entity of interest.
• May show linkages between Physical Active Resources and Resource Functions.
• May show Physical Active Resources organized into Capability Configurations.
• May show Physical Passive Resources that Physical Active Resources depend on.
• May trace Capabilities to Capability Configurations.
• May trace Physical Active Resources to Logical Active Resources.
• May trace Resource Functions to Service Functions and Logical Behaviour .

Representation

• Tabular.
• Mapping (matrix).
• Composite Structure Diagram.
• Block diagram.
• Class Diagram 148

Notes on the Cut-out

Systems, Networks, Ports and Physical Assets from NAFv3 can be represented as subtypes of Physical Active Resources in the equipment and technology dimension. Physical Assets from NAFv3 can also be represented as subtypes of Physical Passive Resources in the material dimension. The focus is taxonomies of resources, so relations between mandatory elements are optional.
