C4 Model + Structurizr — Ontology Suite
Software architecture visualization — abstract C4 model plus Structurizr deployment extensions
Software architecture visualization — abstract C4 model plus Structurizr deployment extensions
The C4 Model ontology suite maps Simon Brown's C4 model for software architecture visualization to RDF/OWL. It covers the four abstraction levels (Context, Container, Component, Code) plus Structurizr deployment extensions for infrastructure modeling.
Metamodel manifest: c4-metamodel.ttl — ties together all
resources via arch:Metamodel composition properties.
