Book description
ArchiMate®, an Open Group Standard, is an open and independent modeling
language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool
vendors and consulting firms. ArchiMate provides instruments to enable
enterprise architects to describe, analyze, and visualize the
relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. This book
provides the official specification of ArchiMate 2. 0 from The Open
Group. ArchiMate 2. 0 is an upwards-compatible evolution from ArchiMate
1. 0 adding new features, as well as addressing usage feedback. The
ArchiMate 2. 0 Standard supports modeling throughout the TOGAF®
Architecture Development Method (ADM). The intended audience is
threefold: Enterprise Architecture practitioners, such as architects (e.
g., application, information, process, infrastructure, and, obviously,
enterprise architects), senior and operational management, project
leaders, and anyone committed to work within the reference framework
defined by the Enterprise Architecture. Those who intend to implement
ArchiMate in a software tool; they will find a complete and detailed
description of the language in this book. The academic community, on
which we rely for amending and improving the language based on
state-of-the-art research results in the architecture field.
