TechnologyObject
A technology object represents a passive element that is used or produced by the technological infrastructure.

Technology objects represent the "physical" objects manipulated by the infrastructure of an enterprise. Technology objects are abstract elements; i.e., they are not instantiated in models but serve as the generic type of the things manipulated by the Technology Layer. This may include both artifacts (e.g., files) and physical material.

Technology objects may be accessed by technology behavior (functions, processes, interactions, events, and services). A technology object may have association, specialization, aggregation, or composition relationships with other technology objects. A technology object may realize a data object or business object. It may be realized by an artifact or material (from the physical elements). The name of a technology object should preferably be a noun.
