Abstract

Linked.Archi ArchiMate ontology based on the ArchiMate 3.2 specification. Represents ArchiMate elements, relationship types (using the three-declaration qualified relationship pattern), and composite/connector concepts as RDF/OWL. Version 3.2 modernizes the ontology to current Linked.Archi conventions and RDF 1.2 rdf:reifies.
