erwin Enterprise Architect Agile v2

In the model below, we use the metamodel to guide the construction of the model. The meta model provides the framework within which the model can be constructed.

We call the instances of the object types - Objects.

Meta models and the SPP

Each package in the erwin Data Foundation Platform has a meta model. The meta model can be changed. Further guidance is provided here.

The entire erwin Data Foundation Platform is a meta model in its own right. Each package is a subset of the entire meta model and some object types and relationships overlap.

Innovation management metamodel

Package: Innovation Management

Role Applicable to: Client Administrator, User, Contributor, Reviewer

Some of the objects and metamodel are based on the ArchiMate specification from the Open Group. However, this has been significantly extended to support innovation management.

erwin licenses the ArchiMate specification from the open group. The terms of the license are here.

Enterprise architecture metamodel

Package: Agile Enterprise Architecture

Role Applicable to: Client Administrator, User, Contributor, Reviewer

The enterprise architecture metamodel is based on ArchiMate and TOGAF 9 attributes. The metamodel includes the following:

ArchiMate 2.1 Core

ArchiMate 2.1 Implementation and Migration Extension

ArchiMate 2.1 Motivation Extension

Capability Extension

The metamodel has been extended from ArchiMate 2.1 to reflect the Open Groups' latest thinking around capabilities. A working whitepaper is available through the open group.

Attributes

The ArchiMate language does not define any explicit attributes for object types. Therefore, all attributes for the metamodel are mapped from TOGAF 9.1 attributes. Where object types are specializations of other other types, then we have mapped the super type attributes to the sub type. For example, a Metric will inherit all of the attributes of Driver as it is a specialism of a Driver.

The platform is extensible and you may add your own attributes to any object type. See the customization section for more details.

A link to the specification exists here.

The mappings are based on the harmonization work carried out at the open group between TOGAF and ArchiMate. The link to this work is here. However, you must be an Open Group member to access these documents.

The following table shows the ArchiMate to TOGAF object type mappings and the attributes that have been mapped:
