Archimate 3 element types vs ObjectTypes?
« on: May 24, 2019, 10:04:21 pm »
I found an Archimate Deliverable in the "find->Requirements->Requirements' search with type 'Deliverable', but 'Deliverable' is not an objecttype as far as i can see. An Alias?

I tried more deliverable elements, but I could not replicate it.

So other elements from the Archimate3 model, such the 'Requirement' element,  do not appear in the requirement search, and neither do any of the types in the  'implementation' part of the Archimate3 model.

Is there a document somewhere that shows the ObjectType for the Archimate model elements?

You can easily find out yourself by removing the stereotype from the object. Then it will show the object type used.

Other alternatives are:
- look in the database (t_object)
- look in the Archimate MDG file (should be in the program files folder of EA)

What you you mean by "t_object mappings"?

The (meta)type of an ArchiMate item is fixed in the MDG. You are not supposed to change that yourself (although the MDG xml can be edited of course)

Thanks, i came to the same conclusions. I will look at the MDG file.
