Linked.Archi Financial Architecture Metamodel Definition

Extension ontology for financial aspects of enterprise architecture. Provides vocabulary for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models, cost allocation to business capabilities and value streams, investment case tracking (Run/Grow/Transform), cost-benefit analysis for architecture decision options, and FinOps cloud cost management. Not intended to replace financial planning tools — the goal is to make cost a queryable dimension of the architecture knowledge graph, enabling questions like "What is the annual run cost of all applications supporting this capability?" or "Which decision option has the best NPV?" Motivated by Gartner 2025 Leadership Vision identifying lack of financial acumen as one of the five mistakes EA teams make.

SHACL shapes for validating financial architecture models. Enforces governance rules: every cost model must have a currency and at least one cost item, every investment case must have a type and projected ROI, and every cost-benefit analysis must have cost, benefit, and NPV.
