functional_system_description_concepts

This EPackage includes concepts to describe a "functional system", i.e an IT landscape with (privacy-relevant) information flows between data sources and data recipients. A particular concept is that the overall functional system description can be partitioned into different partitions relating to a particular data controller. Note that partitions can be nested and can overlap.

This package specifically does not cover any privacy-relevant concepts. However, there is (probably) little point in specifying any information flows that are not privacy-relevant, unless specific other model analyses are done.
