A system element can be hardware, software, data, humans, processes (e.g., processes for providing service to users), procedures (e.g., operator instructions), facilities, materials, and naturally occurring entities (e.g., water, organisms, minerals), or any combination. ISO/IEC 15288:2008 (ISO/IEC. 2008)

(2) (used for System of Interest, system, system element) A physical element (user or operator role, hardware, software) that composes a system. A system element may be seen in its turn as a system (i.e. sub-system) and be engineered in a system block of lower level. (SEBoK)
