== Introduction ==

Cost shows the expenditure flows across organizational boundaries and incorporates many different aspects of an organization, and often makes it a complex subject to identify and document. However, in order to better capture and document all of the cost objects, the Cost is built as a map. The Cost Map is an accurate list and representation of decomposed and/or composed objects. A map is often represented in the form of a simple list or a chart laid out in columns in either a document or a spreadsheet. It’s appearance ranges from that of a single list of one object or that of multiple objects across multiple rows within one or more (specific) columns.

The purpose of constructing a Cost Map is to build an inventory or indexed list of objects that are to be either decomposed or composed for later usage within the business layer, information layer and/or technology layer of an enterprise. It is a powerful yet simple to use tool that allows the practitioner to document large amounts of information in a structured and coherent way.

The Cost Map provides you with a detailed overview of identified costs (identified with a unique name and ID number), organizational competencies (core differentiating, core competitive or non-core), products, costs (cost-specific outputs/results), organizational units, areas and groups, locations, and (business, service, process, application/system, data, platform and infrastructure) owners.

+Information (can be shortened as ‘info’) is that which informs, i.e. an answer to a question, as well as that from which knowledge and data can be derived (as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts).

+As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer. Data as information is data that is;
