The ArchiMate framework is currently at version […]

What is your metamodel for TOGAF 9? What is your metamodel mapping for your SA-DOORS integration? Here’s one that […]
You can look at the world around us as categorized into three kinds of relationships – Explicit, Implicit, and Inferred. Using Rational System Architect, you can automatically visualize all of these relationships on any diagram type.
