ArchiMate 4.0 Concept Scheme

Classification of ArchiMate 4.0 elements by domain and by aspect.

• ▼Element by Domain
  Classification of ArchiMate 4.0 elements by their architectural domain — the primary organizational grouping in the ArchiMate 4.0 framework (replacing layers from 3.x).

  https://meta.linked.archi/archimate4/tax#ElementByDomain
  • ▼Common Domain
    Generic, cross-domain elements shared across Business, Application, and Technology. New in ArchiMate 4.0, the Common Domain contains behavior elements (Process, Function, Event, Service) that were previously duplicated per layer, plus generic active structure elements (Role, Collaboration, Path) and composite elements (Grouping, Location).

    • Role
    • Collaboration
    • Path
    • Service
    • Process
    • Function
    • Event
    • Grouping
    • Location
  • ▼Business Domain
    Elements specific to the business domain: actors, interfaces, objects, and products. In ArchiMate 4.0, behavior elements previously in the Business layer (BusinessProcess, BusinessFunction, etc.) have been merged into the Common Domain.

    • BusinessActor
    • BusinessInterface
    • BusinessObject
    • Product
  • ▼Application Domain
    Elements specific to the application domain: components, interfaces, and data objects. In ArchiMate 4.0, behavior elements previously in the Application layer have been merged into the Common Domain.

    • ApplicationComponent
    • ApplicationInterface
    • DataObject
  • ▼Technology Domain
    Elements specific to the technology and physical domain: nodes, devices, system software, networks, equipment, facilities, artifacts, and materials. In ArchiMate 4.0, the Technology and Physical layers from 3.x are merged into a single Technology Domain.

  • ▼Active Structure
    Elements that can perform behavior — the subjects of activity. Includes actors, components, nodes, roles, collaborations, and their interfaces.
