Linked.Archi ArchiMate 4.0 Metamodel Definition

Linked.Archi ArchiMate ontology aligned to the ArchiMate 4.0 specification (the "Hexagonion"). ArchiMate 4.0 replaces the layer-based structure of 3.x with a domain-based organization (Common, Business, Application, Technology, Strategy, Motivation, Implementation & Migration). Behavior elements that were previously duplicated per layer (e.g., BusinessProcess, ApplicationProcess, TechnologyProcess) are merged into single cross-domain elements (Process, Function, Event, Service). New Common Domain elements (Role, Collaboration, Path) are introduced as generic, domain-independent concepts. This is not an official Open Group document.

SHACL shapes for validating ArchiMate 4.0 model data. Generated from the ArchiMate 4.0 relationship validity matrix (Appendix B). Validates qualified relationship instances. Pure SHACL core.

SHACL shapes for validating ArchiMate 4.0 element instances and metamodel patterns. Adapted from 3.2 shapes for the domain-based structure of 4.0. Draft — needs validation against the ArchiMate 4.0 relationship validity matrix.

SHACL shapes encoding common enterprise architecture principles as executable constraints. Adapted from 3.2 principle shapes for ArchiMate 4.0 domain-based structure.

SHACL shapes for validating that architecture Views conform to their declared Viewpoints. Data-driven — reads viewpoint definitions from the loaded graph.

SHACL Rules (sh:SPARQLRule) implementing ArchiMate 4.0 derivation rules. Derived relationships are annotated with confidence level and provenance. Draft — the full derivation matrix needs validation against the ArchiMate 4.0 spec.

Classification of ArchiMate 4.0 elements by domain and by aspect.

ArchiMate 4.0 viewpoints as arch:Viewpoint individuals. Each viewpoint specifies allowed element types (arch:includesConcept), target stakeholders (arch:targetsStakeholder), and framed concerns (arch:viewpointFramesConcern). ArchiMate 4.0 uses domain-based organization; viewpoints reference the merged cross-domain elements (Process, Function, Event, Service) from the Common Domain. Organizations may define additional custom viewpoints.

Classification of ArchiMate 4.0 viewpoints by category. The top-level categories correspond to the ArchiMate 4.0 framework dimensions.

The primary ArchiMate 4.0 deliverable documenting the target architecture across business, application, and technology domains. Uses the domain-based structure of ArchiMate 4.0 with merged cross-domain behavior elements.

Documents architecture requirements, goals, and constraints.

Documents architecture principles and strategy alignment.
