v0.1.0
Viewpoint Definitions
Linked.Archi Core Viewpoints
https://meta.linked.archi/core-viewpoints#
Framework-agnostic architecture viewpoints derived from
ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 and common architecture practice. These are universal
viewpoints that any modeling language can use — ArchiMate, TOGAF, C4,
Backstage, or custom metamodels can specialize or reference them.
v0.1.0
Deliverable Templates
Linked.Archi Core Deliverable Templates
https://meta.linked.archi/core-deliverable-templates#
Framework-agnostic deliverable templates that define the content
structure of common architecture documents. Each template specifies which
viewpoints are required — the actual views are created when someone
instantiates the template into a concrete deliverable (arch:Model).
These templates reference core viewpoints. Framework-specific templates
(e.g., TOGAF Architecture Definition Document) should be defined in the
respective framework's file, referencing framework-specific viewpoints.

Extensions
Composable extension modules for any metamodel
OWL Ontology
Linked.Archi Architecture Decision Ontology
https://meta.linked.archi/arch-decision#
Extension ontology for modeling architecture decisions,
the issues that trigger them, candidate options,
influencing forces (requirements, constraints, trends),
and the rationale linking forces to chosen options.
Use this extension when you need to capture decision records,
trace forces to options, or integrate with ADD-style
iterative decision processes.
v0.0.5
OWL Ontology
Linked.Archi Architecture Processes Extension
https://meta.linked.archi/arch-processes#
Extension ontology for modeling architecture governance processes,
activities, tasks, and their inputs and outputs within architecture models.
This extension enables architects to capture process-oriented aspects of
architecture work — governance workflows, lifecycle activities, and the
artifacts they consume and produce — as first-class elements in architecture
models alongside structural and behavioral elements.
Use this extension when you need to:
* Model architecture governance processes and their decomposition
* Capture process inputs (forces, models, information items) and outputs
(decisions, deliverables, models)
* Trace how architecture activities relate to decisions and deliverables
* Integrate process views into architecture descriptions
The classes in this extension are practical model elements (subClassOf arch:Element)
that can be used in architecture views and governed by metamodels, just like
elements from the decisions or reference architecture extensions.
The process concepts are aligned with ISO/IEC/IEEE 42020 (architecture governance),
ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 (software lifecycle), and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 (system lifecycle).
For the normative standard definitions themselves, see the corresponding standard
vocabularies under standards/.
v0.1.0
OWL Ontology
Linked.Archi Reference Architecture Ontology
https://meta.linked.archi/ref-arch#
Extension ontology for modeling reference architectures,
reference models, architectural patterns, tactics,
and building blocks (ABB/SBB). Use this extension to capture
reusable architectural knowledge, classify patterns by type
(module, integration, deployment), relate tactics to quality
attributes, and trace how patterns and tactics interact.
v0.0.5
OWL Ontology
Linked.Archi Tactics Extension Ontology
https://meta.linked.archi/tactics#
Extension ontology providing a taxonomy of architectural
tactics organized by quality attribute (availability,
interoperability, modifiability, performance, security).

v3.2
SHACL Shapes
Linked.Archi Architecture Principle Shapes
https://meta.linked.archi/archimate3/principle-shapes#
SHACL shapes encoding common enterprise architecture principles
and best practices as executable constraints. These shapes validate architecture models
against governance patterns such as redundancy avoidance, single authoritative source,
separation of concerns, stewardship, and technology standardization.
Inspired by the ontology-based EA principle validation approach described in:
Montecchiari, D.; Hinkelmann, K. (2026) "Ontology-Based Validation of Enterprise
Architecture Principles", Applied Sciences, 16(7):3352.
These shapes are designed to be loaded alongside the standard ArchiMate element and
relationship shapes. They operate on instance data (architecture models) and detect
violations of common governance principles. All shapes use sh:severity sh:Warning
by default — organizations should promote specific shapes to sh:Violation based on
their governance policies.
Usage:
./validate.sh --shacl archimate-principles
Or load manually alongside other shapes:
core-shapes.ttl + archimate3.2-principle-shapes.ttl + your-model-data.ttl

SHACL Shapes
Linked.Archi ArchiMate 3.2 Viewpoint Conformance Shapes
https://meta.linked.archi/archimate3/viewpoint-shapes#
SHACL shapes for validating that architecture Views conform to
their declared Viewpoints. These shapes enforce:
1. Element conformance — elements exposed in a View must be instances of
types listed in the viewpoint's arch:includesConcept.
2. View type conformance — a View's rdf:type must match one of the
viewpoint's arch:viewType values (Diagram, Catalog, Matrix).
3. Viewpoint declaration — every View must declare which viewpoint it
conforms to via arch:viewConformsToViewpoint.
These shapes are data-driven: they read the viewpoint definitions from
the loaded graph (arch:includesConcept, arch:viewType) rather than
hardcoding per-viewpoint rules. This means they work for any viewpoint
— ArchiMate example viewpoints, custom viewpoints, or viewpoints from
other frameworks — as long as the viewpoint data is loaded.
Shapes use sh:severity sh:Warning by default. Organizations may promote
specific shapes to sh:Violation based on governance policies.
Usage:
.scripts/validate.sh --shacl archimate-viewpoints
Or load manually:
core-shapes.ttl + archimate3.2-viewpoint-shapes.ttl +
archimate3.2-viewpoints.ttl + your-model-data.ttl

the EA Maturity Model (Stage Zero through Stage Three) and the EA Governance
classification (architecture tiers, governance bodies, governance activities).
v0.1.0
Viewpoint Definitions
Linked.Archi EA on a Page Viewpoints
https://meta.linked.archi/eaonapage/viewpoints#
Viewpoints for the EA on a Page framework. Each viewpoint specifies
the artifact types it includes, the stakeholders it targets, and the purpose it
serves. Derived from the CSVLOD artifact taxonomy and the three core EA processes
described by Kotusev.
EA on a Page does not formally define viewpoints, but its artifact types and
processes imply a natural set of viewpoints that practitioners use in practice.
These viewpoints formalize those implicit conventions.
v0.1.0
Deliverable Templates
Linked.Archi EA on a Page Deliverable Templates
https://meta.linked.archi/eaonapage/deliverable-templates#
Deliverable templates for the EA on a Page framework. Each template
defines the structure and required viewpoints for a common EA deliverable.
Based on the artifact types and typical structures described by Kotusev.
EA on a Page explicitly says templates should be adapted rather than copied.
These templates capture the typical structure observed across organizations
and should be customized to local context.

ATAM Metamodel →
OWL Ontology
Linked.Archi ATAM Ontology
https://meta.linked.archi/atam/onto#
Ontology for the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) from
the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University.
Models the evaluation-specific concepts that ATAM adds beyond the core
decision and quality attribute vocabulary: utility trees, sensitivity points,
tradeoff points, risks, non-risks, and risk themes.
ATAM is a method for evaluating software architectures relative to quality
attribute goals. It exposes architectural risks that potentially inhibit the
achievement of business goals by systematically analyzing quality attribute
scenarios against architectural approaches.
Use together with:
* ad:arch-decision — for decisions, forces, options, and QA scenarios
* refa:ref-arch — for patterns and tactics (architectural approaches)
* iso25010 — for quality attribute definitions

Inspired by the ontology-based EA principle validation approach described in: Montecchiari, D.; Hinkelmann, K. (2026) "Ontology-Based Validation of Enterprise Architecture Principles", Applied Sciences, 16(7):3352. These shapes are designed to be loaded alongside the standard ArchiMate element and relationship shapes. They operate on instance data (architecture models) and detect violations of common governance principles. All shapes use sh:severity sh:Warning by default — organizations should promote specific shapes to sh:Violation based on their governance policies. Usage: ./validate.sh --shacl archimate-principles Or load manually alongside other shapes: core-shapes.ttl + archimate3.2-principle-shapes.ttl + your-model-data.ttl | https://meta.linked.archi/archimate3/principle-shapes# |
| Linked.Archi ArchiMate 3.2 Viewpoint Conformance Shapes | SHACL Shapes | SHACL shapes for validating that architecture Views conform to their declared Viewpoints. These shapes enforce: 1. Element conformance — elements exposed in a View must be instances of types listed in the viewpoint's arch:includesConcept. 2. View type conformance — a View's rdf:type must match one of the viewpoint's arch:viewType values (Diagram, Catalog, Matrix). 3. Viewpoint declaration — every View must declare which viewpoint it conforms to via arch:viewConformsToViewpoint. These shapes are data-driven: they read the viewpoint definitions from the loaded graph (arch:includesConcept, arch:viewType) rather than hardcoding per-viewpoint rules. This means they work for any viewpoint — ArchiMate example viewpoints, custom viewpoints, or viewpoints from other frameworks — as long as the viewpoint data is loaded. Shapes use sh:severity sh:Warning by default. Organizations may promote specific shapes to sh:Violation based on governance policies. Usage: .scripts/validate.sh --shacl archimate-viewpoints Or load manually: core-shapes.ttl + archimate3.2-viewpoint-shapes.ttl + archimate3.2-viewpoints.ttl + your-model-data.ttl | https://meta.linked.archi/archimate3/viewpoint-shapes# |

Motivated by Gartner 2025 Leadership Vision identifying AI ethics and governance as a critical gap in EA teams, and by the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) requiring formal risk classification and conformity assessment for high-risk AI systems. | https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/onto# |
| Linked.Archi AI Governance Taxonomy | SKOS Taxonomy | SKOS taxonomy classifying AI governance concepts by risk level, principle, lifecycle phase, and assessment type. | https://meta.linked.archi/ai-governance/tax# |
| Linked.Archi Financial Architecture SHACL Shapes | SHACL Shapes | SHACL shapes for validating financial architecture models. Enforces governance rules: every cost model must have a currency and at least one cost item, every investment case must have a type and projected ROI, and every cost-benefit analysis must have cost, benefit, and NPV. | https://meta.linked.archi/financial-architecture/shapes# |
| Linked.Archi Financial Architecture Taxonomy | SKOS Taxonomy | SKOS taxonomy classifying financial architecture concepts by cost type, investment type, and analysis type. | https://meta.linked.archi/financial-architecture/tax# |
| Linked.Archi Financial Architecture Reference Data | OWL Ontology | Reference data for financial architecture — cost categories, investment types, and cost periods. | https://meta.linked.archi/financial-architecture/reference-data# |
| Linked.Archi Financial Architecture Metamodel Definition | Metamodel Manifest | Metamodel manifest for the Financial Architecture extension. Ties together the financial architecture ontology, SKOS taxonomy, SHACL shapes, and reference data into a single discoverable resource. This is the entry point for tools that need to discover all resources that make up the Financial Architecture modeling vocabulary. Designed to compose with the TIME framework for cost-aware portfolio rationalization, and with the Architecture Decisions extension for cost-informed decision making. | https://meta.linked.archi/financial-architecture/metamodel# |
| Linked.Archi Financial Architecture Extension | Viewpoint Definitions | Extension ontology for financial aspects of enterprise architecture. Provides vocabulary for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models, cost allocation to business capabilities and value streams, investment case tracking (Run/Grow/Transform), cost-benefit analysis for architecture decision options, and FinOps cloud cost management. Not intended to replace financial planning tools — the goal is to make cost a queryable dimension of the architecture knowledge graph, enabling questions like "What is the annual run cost of all applications supporting this capability?" or "Which decision option has the best NPV?" Motivated by Gartner 2025 Leadership Vision identifying lack of financial acumen as one of the five mistakes EA teams make. | https://meta.linked.archi/financial-architecture/onto# |
| Linked.Archi ML-Enabled Systems SHACL Shapes | SHACL Shapes | SHACL shapes for validating ML-enabled system architecture models. Enforces governance rules: every ML model must have versioning, monitoring, and dataset lineage; every serving infrastructure must have latency SLAs. | https://meta.linked.archi/ml-systems/shapes# |
| Linked.Archi ML-Specific Quality Attributes | OWL Ontology | Quality attribute individuals specific to ML-enabled systems. Extends the base quality-attributes extension with ML-specific concerns identified by Moin et al. (2023) and Lewis et al. (2021). | https://meta.linked.archi/ml-systems/quality-attributes# |
| Linked.Archi ML-Enabled Systems Metamodel Definition | Metamodel Manifest | Metamodel manifest for the ML-Enabled Systems extension. Ties together the ML element/relationship ontology, SKOS taxonomy, and SHACL shapes into a single discoverable resource. This is the entry point for tools that need to discover all resources that make up the ML-Enabled Systems modeling vocabulary. | https://meta.linked.archi/ml-systems/metamodel# |
| Linked.Archi ML-Enabled Systems Taxonomy | SKOS Taxonomy | SKOS taxonomy classifying ML-enabled system concepts by lifecycle phase and component role. | https://meta.linked.archi/ml-systems/tax# |
| Linked.Archi ML-Enabled Systems Extension | Viewpoint Definitions | Extension ontology for modeling ML-enabled system architectures. Provides element types, relationship types, stakeholders, concerns, and viewpoints for describing the ML aspects of software systems — training pipelines, model serving, feature engineering, data lineage, and the integration boundary between ML and non-ML components. Motivated by the gap identified in Moin et al. (2023): existing architecture frameworks lack stakeholders, viewpoints, and model kinds for data scientists, data engineers, and ML engineers. This extension addresses that gap within the Linked.Archi ecosystem. | https://meta.linked.archi/ml-systems/onto# |
