Financial Architecture Metamodel
type: Metamodel
definition: The Financial Architecture metamodel definition, aggregating the financial architecture ontology, SKOS taxonomy, SHACL shapes, and reference data. Designed to be composed with any other metamodel (ArchiMate, C4, Backstage) and with the TIME framework and Architecture Decisions extensions. Addresses the gap identified by Gartner 2025 Leadership Vision: EA teams lack financial acumen. Provides formal ontology resources for TCO modeling, investment case tracking, cost-benefit analysis, and FinOps cloud cost management.
