The Open Group: ArchiMate® 1.0 Specification

  • Artigo

A new language has been developed and released by the Open Group consortium. The language called ArchiMate is positioned as a lightweight language:

  • Its architecture framework is simple but comprehensive enough to provide a good structuring mechanism for architecture domains, layers, and aspects.
  • The language incorporates modern ideas of the “service orientation” paradigm that promotes a new organizing principle in terms of (business, application, and infrastructure) services for organizations, with far-reaching consequences for their enterprise architecture.
  • Although it intentionally resembles the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the ArchiMate modeling notation is intuitive and much lighter than currently proposed by UML 2.0. Nevertheless, the language is expressive enough to allow for the modeling of all layers (business, application, and technology infrastructure) and all aspects (structure, behavior, and information) of an organization in an integrated way.
  • The two enterprise architecture standards of The Open Group – TOGAF and ArchiMate – complement each other and can be used well in combination.
