Archimate 2.0
« on: February 09, 2012, 08:51:22 am »
Now that the spec. for Archimate 2.0 has been released, it would great to update the Archimate template to support the new extensions.

Yes, that would be wonderful, wouldn't it? Don't hold your breath. The Sparx implementation of ArchiMate needs a re-think. The ArchiMate meta model is strongly typed, especially the relationships. Sparx EA is UML-centric. UML meta models are relaxed and casual. With the Sparx ArchiMate implementation, you can connect anything to anything, unfortunately. The relationship rules are voluntary, and you have to memorise them. Which is not a good idea. Then there's the quality of the graphics in Sparx. Other ArchiMate tools enforce the strong meta model rules of ArchiMate. Have a look at Archi - which is free, but is being used by professional architects. ArchiMate is looking like a growth skill for solution architects. Sparx should give their support for ArchiMate considered thought. I am the eternal optimist. :)
