Hi all,

For  archimate "business function" and archimate "business process" the mapping to Aris elements is as what follows :

  • archimate "business function" <-> Aris Function object
  • archimate "business process"  <-> Aris Participant object ?????

 

I can't figure out why this choice has been made, and any explanation is welcomed.

Let's say for example that I have a high-level view of the enterprise processes made in Archimate using Archimate Business Processes.

If I want or need to reuse these processes in an Aris Value-Added chain diagram, I can't because these archimate processes would be mapped to participants which is not allowed. (And if it were allowed, it would not make any sense anyway)

Had I used archimate business functions in the first place, I could have reused them in the value-added chain diagram (but in my archimate model I would have used business functions to represent business processes)

Would a rule of thumb be: don't share elements of Aris native models with Archimate models and vice-versa? ( at least for the business layer)

 

Regards

Michel
