Implement the Core Metamodel in the Strategy Layer
I’m assuming here that Course of Action will be moved to the Motivation Aspect, see Issue 67.
My view of the Strategy Layer in ArchiMate is that allows us to model a Business Anchor Model, which is stable set of structures and behaviours implied by the Business Model of the enterprise. This level of modelling is vital to make sense of the Operating Model that sits below it, and which is modelled by the Business Layer in ArchiMate.
It’s rather baffling why we haven’t used our sturdy tried and tested Core Metamodel to structure this Layer. We know it works, and how it unifies the modelling of heterogeneous architecture domains.
So perhaps something like this, which won’t break backward compatibility, but will be more coherent with the other Layers. Something like the Business Model Canvas (BMC), for example, would be easy to model with these Elements.
