ArchiMate 1.0 Specification

Description

* Archimate is simple but comprehensive enough to provide a good structuring mechanism for architecture domains, layers, and aspects.
    * Archimate incorporates modern ideas of the service orientation paradigm.
    * Although it intentionally resembles the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the ArchiMate modeling notation is intuitive and much lighter than currently proposed by UML 2.0.
    * The two enterprise architecture standards of The Open Group - TOGAF and ArchiMate - complement each other and can be used well in combination.
    * Tool support for the ArchiMate language is already commercially available.
