ArchiMate® Add-in for Papyrus

Perform enterprise architecture modeling with the ArchiMate notation in Papyrus models.

The ArchiMate add-in is an open-source initiative founded by Adocus within the Papyrus Industry Consortium. The add-in enables you to model enterprise architecture models based upon the well recognized and popular ArchiMate® 2.1 notation by The Open Group.

The ArchiMate notation offers strategic modeling with motivation for the planned architecture initiative, identification of affected architectures such as business architecture, application architecture and technical architecture. ArchiMate does also support modeling of the implementation and migration between the current architecture state (plateau) to the next.
