A content metamodel defines a set of entities that allow architectural concepts to be captured, stored, filtered, queried, and represented in a way that supports consistency, completeness, and traceability <small>([https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/chap30.html#tag_30_02 TOGAF 9: 30.2.2])</small>

==== Capability ====
A capability represents an ability that an organization, person, or system possesses. We primarily use capabilities in capability maps, that allow architecture to present a higher-level more strategic and conceptual view of the state of the enterprise, and to help with decision-making.
* Linking: Capabilities can link to other capabilities (e.g. parent/child) - indicated with serving relationships.
* Linking: Business functions should link and be linkable to capabilities (realize). Capabilities should realize outcomes or goals in the motivation layer.
* Linking: Only business functions from the core elements should link to capabilities.l
* Tend to be more abstract than most SSC services, functions, processes.

SSC Services are usually business functions, and should not be represented as ArchiMate business services.
* Representation: Must be represented as a business function, with category of "client-facing service" or "supporting service"
* Representation: Must be represented as a business function, with category of "client-facing service" or "supporting service"
* Naming: As defined by SSC Service Management Framework.
* SSC Services (or their sub-functions) should always be linked to one or more Capabilities.
