HOPEX for the ArchiMate® Frameworkproduct provides facilities to use the set of concepts defined by the Open Group for ArchiMate® 3.1. ArchiMate® concepts are mapped with HOPEX Enterprise Architecture building blocks so as to manage compatibility and continuity with other models.
*For more details on HOPEX for the ArchiMate® Framework implementation, see The HOPEX MetaModel for ArchiMate.
Depending on the licenses you have access to ArchiMate® formalism to build sketches that represent the models of your enterprise architecture. These sketches can then be synchronized with HOPEX solution inventories, if needed, by associating their elements with objects in your repository.
Note that the ArchiMate® diagrams thus constructed are linked to ArchiMate models and views in accordance with ArchiMate® standards.
*For more details on the relationship between the elements of ArchiMate diagrams and the elements of used in HOPEX solution, see Synchronizing an ArchiMate model Elements.
