ArchiMate is an open and independent enterprise architecture modeling language developed by The Open Group. It features support for the description, analysis, and visualization of structures within and across business domains in an intuitive way.
Comprehensive manual
This specification is intended for architects, senior and operational management, project leaders, and those who work within the reference framework. If you intend to implement the ArchiMate language in a software solution, you will find a complete and detailed description of its capabilities.
Advanced framework
The architecture framework is simple but extensive enough to offer a decent structuring mechanism for domains, layers, and aspects. What is more, the language incorporates the service orientation paradigm that delivers a new management principle in terms of organization type, including business, application, and infrastructure.
In order to access the functionality of the modeling language, you may try a dedicated tool called Archi. It provides an open source reference implementation of ArchiMate. The developers are currently using it as one of the instruments for working with The Open Group ArchiMate Model Exchange File Format.
