Discussion Board

Last edited by Kelly Cannon

The Discussion Board (also known as "Issues") is where anyone is welcome to ask questions, start a conversation, or begin collaboration on ArchiMate topics, and share examples, models, or viewpoints that can be posted. Anyone can read the content on this site however in order to post a new Issue or comment on an existing one, you will need to create an account. See below.

Guidelines

The general rule for posting in this group is: The subject of a post may only be about the ArchiMate language. Generic Enterprise Architecture or even further off-topic posts are not allowed.

All models shared here must meet the following requirements:

  1. Models must be uploaded using at least The Open Group ArchiMate® Model Exchange File Format. You're also encouraged to post a PDF or image version of your model to make it easier for people to read it online.
  2. Models must be shared using OSI Apache 2.0 License
  3. Contributors will anonymize any organizational information in models and discussions
  4. No commercial advertising
  5. You can reference material written on other websites or blogs, but make sure to: provide a link to the original page, provide the name of the original author, and quote only the relevant portion.
  6. Models published by The Open Group are available through the ArchiMate Library. Commentary on these models does not grant access to The Open Group or to Member-only discussions. Comments may be considered and used on future updates to the model.

Creating a Discussion

You can create a new Discussion by going to the Discussion Board and clicking on the New Issue button.

If you want to share a model or a viewpoint, you can use one of the templates:

You can add images and attachments to an issue through the Attach a file button (on the lower right corner of the text area) or simply by dropping your file onto the text.

Comments

As soon as an Issue has been created, people can add comments. It is also possible to add images and attachments to a comment to support their position.

Designs

In some instances, comments may not be the best way to collaborate on an architecture view. In these cases, you can import diagrams into the "Designs" tab, below the issue content. Once imported, you and other people will be able to add visual anchors to the diagram and associate comments and discussions: image
