The HOPEX Implementation of ArchiMate
HOPEX proposes an implementation based on the ArchiMate 2.1 specification which aims at ensuring continuity with other HOPEX products such as :
HOPEX Business Process Analysis for the business layer,
HOPEX Logical Data and
HOPEX Information Architecture for the information and data sub layers,
HOPEX System Oriented IT Architecture, for the application layer,
HOPEX IT Architecture for the technology layer.
It is a partial implementation in terms of concepts or links proposed by ArchiMate, and the extensions are not covered as part of this release. The key objective was to propose the core of the ArchiMate notation whilst being consistent with the overall HOPEX EA stack.
The aim is to present the main principles that govern this implementation and guide the user in his/her use of the HOPEX Modeling tool to create ArchiMate deliverables.
