I would be more in favour of something like contextElement
or externalElement
, because this indicates that it is an "element" relevant to modeling the system, but that it itself is not contained in the system (rather, in the system's context/environment).
"System context" and "system boundary" in general are important concepts in the world of systems engineering, as it determines what you can and cannot control (in terms of design).
Since we are in the systemArchitecture
, I leave this completely to the system experts ;-) I'm a bit more in favor of externalElement
, as it's more intuitive also for other domain experts (I had to read your explanation of contextElement
twice before I got it 😏). But I would also be happy with the latter and a proper documentation.
externalElement
is perfectly fine in my opinion :+1:
Thanks @jbussemaker
How about just
generic
