Extend general properties for connector
« on: November 23, 2015, 09:32:55 pm »
Hi,

I am currently working on a Diagram using ArchiMate. I would like to include additional information between components. Is there any possibility to create additional connector properties?

I hope someone can help me :)

You could try using Tagged Values

Phil
Models are great!
Correct models are even greater!

Thanks Phil, I know about Tagged Values. I just wanted to know if there is another possibility with connector properties.

You first need to be sure that you're not trying to represent the Application Components being joined by Application Interfaces or Application Collaborations.  If that is the information use the actual elements instead.

Apart from that I'd stick to tagged values as I don't think anything else is strictly legit and supported by the Archimate Exchange format.
