Accountable Objectc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/sao#AccountableObject

An accountable object models an abstract representation of a thing that should be documented for accountability. This may reference the whole system, its logical part, or associated process. For example, a larger system may be described as a group of sub-systems or a single system may be broken down into a number of layers/components (e.g., a decision logic layer).

Accountable Resultc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/sao#AccountableResult

An output variable which is produced by an Accountable Action, for example, a decision made by a human or a specification produced by a team. The variable is part of the accountability plan and has a corresponding InformationRealization collection in the execution trace.

Information Elementc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/sao#InformationElement

A member of the collection of type Information Realization. Information Realizations may have multiple Information Elements. Information Element describes in more detail a specific type of information contained by the Information Realization collection.
