concept classification: ZachmanConceptScheme
has deliverable template: ArtifactCoverageReport
scope note: The Zachman Framework is a classification schema, not a modeling language. It does not define element types (arch:modelConcepts is absent) or viewpoints (arch:architectureViewpoints is absent). Instead, it provides a 6×6 classification grid that any artifact from any modeling language can be tagged against via arch:viewpointCoversAspect and arch:viewpointFromPerspective. Usage in a custom metamodel: ex:MyMetamodel a arch:Metamodel ; arch:modelConcepts <https://meta.linked.archi/mymodel#> ; arch:hasDeliverableTemplate zachdt:ArtifactCoverageReport . Usage on artifacts: ex:CapabilityMap a arch:Model ; arch:viewpointCoversAspect zach:What ; arch:viewpointFromPerspective zach:BusinessManagementPerspective .
