Agency Active Defining Diagram

This is the normal state of affairs - the Agency exists and is operational.

Agent Defining Diagram
Role of a subject enabling it to act purposefully.
CBS V2: - A role of a "Subject" which indicates that it has power to act
This is a role which may be played by a "Subject". Sometimes, an "Agent" may be created in order to assemble a set of responsibilities and authorities prior to a specific "Subject" being identified and allocated to it.
For purposes of creating an "Authorising Act", an "Agent" may actually be a group of individuals - for example when joint responsibility is being taken for some decision, as in a clinical case conference. In such a case the details of the group are taken care of by
"Subject" and "Inter Subject Relationship".
Examples of "Agent":
Dr Smithers within NHS XYZ Trust,
Ms J.Doe in the HXT Pathology laboratory.
A better understanding of the types of "Agent" can be gained from examination of its subtypes.
