It probably depends what you want. I guess there is always a trade-off between complexity-simplicity and high-low coverage and descriptive power. At some point in the near future I will have a go at doing a higher-level version of this, with fewer blobs, and we can see what it is useful for. In any case it might serve as an introduction to the model at this level. In the other direction, there is a great deal of scope for further refining the model, but almost certainly that is best done in separate diagrams.
As for implementation, I wouldn’t envisage anyone implementing the whole of this model in an information system. Rather, it can serve as a map from which to choose an area to implement, and to help see what other areas and implementations are likely to be nearby.
