This version of the TRAK metamodel. Defines enumerated values and links them to trusted vocabularies or sources (so that the graph of TRAK can then produce a richer ontology description using RDF(S) + OWL ).

Bottom-up UAF - 82 undefined architecture views - the magic happens in the tools not the ‘specification’. The supposedly agnostic DMM also includes a BPMN semantics architecture view.

[TRAK_AF @trak_af]

How many architecture frameworks actually specify architecture view content (ignoring claims)? One - TRAK. Not UAF nor donor AFs or TOGAF. #architectureframework #trak #enterprisearchitecture #mbse

[TRAK_AF @trak_af]

And TRAK managed this some 14 years ago. So what’s stopping others ? Putting something in a folder named ‘view specification’ isn’t a definition in the UML. Not even close.

[TRAK_AF @trak_af]

Meanwhile TOGAF doesn’t even get that close.

[TRAK_AF @trak_af]

@ruthmalan Interesting. Most people use System of Systems even when it doesn’t meet the criteria - each independent, capable of operating on its own. But a SoS is a System. It’s the uncontrollable nature of the whole that’s the issue. As with any uncontrollable system.

[TRAK_AF @trak_af]

@incoseuk Be honest. Don’t succumb to the required relentless positivity and messaging at the risk of deceitfulness. And be resilient.

[TRAK_AF @trak_af]

@simonbrown @domdorn You I feel. You seem to be forcing the binary choice wrt modelling tool vs diagrams

[TRAK_AF @trak_af]

@simonbrown @domdorn Why do you make it a binary choice between modelling tool and diagram(s)? The modelling tool can produce diagrams. False dichotomy.

[TRAK_AF @trak_af]

@incoseuk 97% of the 16% that voted you mean.
