Linked.Archi ML-Enabled Systems Metamodel Definition

Metamodel Manifest

v0.1.0 draft mlsysmm: Kalin Maldzhanski Linked.Archi Modified: 2026-05-03 License

Metamodel manifest for the ML-Enabled Systems extension. Ties together the ML element/relationship ontology, SKOS taxonomy, and SHACL shapes into a single discoverable resource. This is the entry point for tools that need to discover all resources that make up the ML-Enabled Systems modeling vocabulary.

The ML-Enabled Systems metamodel definition, aggregating the ML element/relationship ontology, SKOS taxonomy, and SHACL shapes. Designed to be composed with other metamodels (ArchiMate, C4, Backstage) via owl:imports to add ML-specific modeling capabilities to any architecture description.

Constituent Resources

Model Concepts (OWL Ontology)

onto

Extension ontology for modeling ML-enabled system architectures. Provides element types, relationship types, stakeholders, concerns, and viewpoints for describing the ML aspects of software systems — training pipelines, model serving, feature engineering, data lineage, and the integration boundary between ML and non-ML components. Motivated by the gap identified in Moin et al. (2023): existing architecture frameworks lack stakeholders, viewpoints, and model kinds for data scientists, data engineers, and ML engineers. This extension addresses that gap within the Linked.Archi ecosystem.

Formal Rules (SHACL Shapes)

shapes

SHACL shapes for validating ML-enabled system architecture models. Enforces governance rules: every ML model must have versioning, monitoring, and dataset lineage; every serving infrastructure must have latency SLAs.

Concept Classification (SKOS)

ML-Enabled Systems Concept Scheme

Classification of ML-enabled system concepts by lifecycle phase and component role.
