The import from ArchiMate is a technology preview. |
The ArchiMate language is an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that enables Enterprise Architects to describe, analyze, and visualize the relationships among architecture domains in an unambiguous way. The ArchiMate supports an exchange format in XML which allows model and diagram exchange between tools.
For more information, see https://publications.opengroup.org/standards/archimate. |
You can import ArchiMate model to your UAF project. The allowed file format for importing is ArchiMate .xml.
To import the model from ArchiMate .xml file
After the import is completed, the notification is displayed with the import results. The imported ArchiMate elements are mapped to the UAF elements and added to your model. You can find the imported elements in the Containment tree. In the following Element mapping section, learn how the ArchiMate element are mapped to the UAF elements.
The ArchiMate model import is a technology preview, therefore the element mapping is implemented only partially. |
The mapping of ArchiMate 3.1 to UAF 1.1 approach is based on NATO Architecture Framework.
