Metamodel manifest for ArchiMate 4.0. This file ties together all the ArchiMate 4.0 semantic resources — the element/relationship ontology, SKOS taxonomy, viewpoints, and future SHACL shapes — into a single arch:Metamodel instance. This is the entry point for tools that need to discover all resources that make up the ArchiMate 4.0 modeling language definition.
