As an enterprise architecture tool, HOPEX can be used to implement a UAF project.

Many different frameworks have been designed to help implement enterprise architecture projects. Even though common concepts can be retrieved in each framework, vocabularies may differ and sometimes the same words can be used with slight variations.

HOPEX has its own history and the vocabulary contained in the HOPEX Modeling tool metamodel reflects HOPEX vision. The tool also supplies a rich set of diagrams that are dedicated to modeling the different levels of enterprise architecture, however, because of the history, the diagrams are not exactly equivalent to those described in UAF standard.

This section details the mapping made between the HOPEX and UAF concepts used. The aim of this renaming is to make the mapping between the UAF concepts and the HOPEX concepts as invisible as possible for the user.
