What it is

Team, system, geography or supplier. Naming it identifies who has to be involved in fixing it.

Seams following a supplier boundary are the hardest, since the fix requires the supplier’s cooperation.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
