The ArchiMate® Patterns Library: What is it and how to contribute
By Kelly Canon, ArchiMate® Forum Director, The Open Group
The ArchiMate Modeling Language, standardizes an organizations framework to effectively describe, analyze and visualize their enterprise architecture. By using a standardized language like ArchiMate, not only does it allow internal stakeholders to understand and communicate simple to complex architectural concepts and relationships, but it can encourage the sharing of non-proprietary “patterns” with other enterprise architects.
