ArchiMate - Application | The Application Layer elements are typically used to model the Application Architecture that describes the structure, behavior, and interaction of the applications of the enterprise. |
ArchiMate - Business | Business Layer elements are used to model the operational organization of an enterprise in a technology-independent manner, whereas strategy elements (Chapter 7) are used to model the strategic direction and choices of the enterprise. |
ArchiMate - Motivation | Motivation elements are used to model the motivations, or reasons, that guide the design or change of an Enterprise Architecture. |
ArchiMate - Physical | The physical elements are included as an extension to the Technology Layer for modeling the physical world. |
ArchiMate - Strategy | The strategy elements are typically used to model the strategic direction and choices of an enterprise, as far as the impact on its architecture is concerned. They can be used to express how the enterprise wants to create value for its stakeholders, the capabilities it needs for that, the resources needed to support these capabilities, and how it plans to configure and use these capabilities and resources to achieve its aims (see Chapter 6). Strategy elements are used to model the strategic direction and choices of the enterprise, whereas Business Layer elements (Chapter 8) are used to model the operational organization of an enterprise. |
ArchiMate - Technology | The Technology Layer elements are typically used to model the Technology Architecture of the enterprise, describing the structure and behavior of the technology infrastructure of the enterprise. |
Implementation & Migration | The implementation and migration elements support the implementation and migration of architectures. This includes modeling implementation programs and projects to support program, portfolio, and project management. It also includes support for migration planning. |
Top-Level Language Structure | The ArchiMate core language defines a structure of generic elements and their relationships, which can be specialized in different layers. A model is a collection of concepts – a concept is either an element or a relationship An element is either a behavior element, a structure element, a motivation element, or a composite element Note that these are abstract concepts; they are not intended to be used directly in models. To signify this, they are depicted in white with labels in italics. |
