Linked.Archi ArchiMate 4.0 Ontology: Description back to ToC

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.
