Stereotype in MDG
« on: May 10, 2016, 05:36:11 pm »
We are implementing a Risk Management Aspect for our modelling environment imagine my surprise, when I created a stereotype named "Control" to find that in non-rectangular form, the shapescript had been "hijacked" (in part) by the "Control" element shape from the Analysis Stereotypes set (the circle with the arrow at top).

It's inconsistent since only SOME of the aspects of the shape script are overridden in non-rectangular mode.  In rectangular mode, the shapescript responds correctly.

Would that be https://www2.opengroup.org/ogsys/catalog/W150 ?
No, Not exactly.  Haven't read the paper thoroughly, but a quick overview suggests we're on similar lines.

We're principally creating Bow Tie diagrams and trying to merge various nomenclatures for the elements of a bow tie diagram and (the relevant parts of) the Open Group Risk Taxonomy (O-RT).  We've implemented our first pass MDG to create some example bow tie diagrams to validate the aspect.

After we've implemented Bow Tie diagrams successfully, we may look at implementing more of O-RT.

We've converted the ArchiMate "layer" in to our "Aspect" and we see the Risk Aspect as the same as the Motivational Aspect (to the right and across the other Aspects - of which we have more than the standard ArchiMate).  We also have an Ontological Aspect ("at the top") that spans ALL the other Aspects.

If you're interested, PM or email me.

The framework they try and crowbar into Archimate is interesting and worth reading properly.  The Archimate implementation is in a few words a bit ridiculous.
