v23 draft edgynotv1: Kalin Maldzhanski Linked.Archi Modified: 2026-10-06 License

Visual notation descriptors for EDGY 23 enterprise design elements and relationships. Alternative, circle-based rendering of the EDGY visual language: all elements are drawn as circles. The default set, https://meta.linked.archi/edgy/notation#, follows the canonical EDGY shapes. Base elements use a neutral grey palette. Facet elements are coloured by facet — yellow for Identity (Purpose, Story, Content), blue for Architecture (Capability, Process, Asset), red for Experience (Task, Journey, Channel). Intersection elements use the colour produced by mixing their two parent facets — green for Organisation (Identity ∩ Architecture), orange for Brand (Identity ∩ Experience), and purple for Product (Architecture ∩ Experience). Every element notation references both a composed icon (arch:prefVisNotation) and a glyph (arch-vis:iconSymbol) so it can be rendered either as a preview or as a shape-with-badge.

EDGY 23 Circle Notation (v1)

Alternative, circle-based EDGY 23 notation set (v1), in a compact, iconic style. Every element is an 80 × 80 circle rendered ShapeWithBadge, with its glyph centred inside. Base elements use a neutral grey palette. Facet elements are coloured by facet in Material tints: yellow for Identity, blue for Architecture, red for Experience. Intersection elements take the mixed colour of their two parent facets: green for Organisation (Identity ∩ Architecture), orange for Brand (Identity ∩ Experience), and purple for Product (Architecture ∩ Experience). Relationship descriptors carry no colour and differ by end decoration only. This is the alternative to https://meta.linked.archi/edgy/notation#EDGYStandardNotation, the default that the EDGY manifest names with arch:notationSet. It is selected by presentation context: the Overview map reader context in https://meta.linked.archi/edgy/presentation-contexts# names it with arch:usesNotationSet.
