=Enterprise Architecture Languages⌘=
* There is no de-facto language describing Enterprise Architecture in general
* Most languages are domain specific or universal (not specifically covering EA)

== UML⌘ ==
* Description separately
== SoaML⌘ ==
see SoaML materials

[[:Category:SoaML]]

== IDEF⌘ ==
[[File:IDEF Methods.svg|300px|right]]
* '''I'''ntegration '''DEF'''inition
* IDEF is a family of modelling languages
* Developed under funding from US Air Force
* Released into Public Domain
* Languages are pretty much separate
* Lhere is no mapping from one view (language) to the other

== IDEF⌘ ==
Some of the languages:
* IDEFIX: The core
* IDEF0 : Function Modelling[2]

== IDEF⌘ ==
* IDEF1 : Information Modelling
* IDEF1X : Data Modelling
[[File:B 5 1 IDEF1X Diagram.jpg|650px]]

== IDEF⌘ ==
* IDEF2 : Simulation Model Design
* IDEF3 : Process Description Capture

== IDEF⌘ ==
* IDEF4 : Object-Oriented Design
* IDEF5 : Ontology Description Capture

== IDEF⌘ ==
* IDEF6 : Design Rationale Capture
[[File:IIDEF4 Design Activities.jpg|500px]]
* IDEF7 : Information System Auditing
* IDEF8 : User Interface Modeling
* IDEF9 : Business Constraint Discovery
* IDEF10 : Implementation Architecture Modeling
* IDEF11 : Information Artifact Modeling
* IDEF12 : Organization Modeling
* IDEF13 : Three Schema Mapping Design
* IDEF14 : Network Design

== BPMN⌘ ==
TODO

== ARIS⌘ ==
* ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems)
* An approach to enterprise modeling
* It is not a standard
* Offers holistic view of process design, management, work flow, and application processing
* Provides a generic and well-documented methodological framework
* Uses EPC (Event-driven Process Chain)
* Supported by ARIS Toolset (by Software AG)
* ARIS is not extensible
* ARIS is not actively maintained

== ArchiMate⌘ ==
* The Open Group Standard
* It is not really as open as The Open Group says
* ArchiMate® 2.0 is aligned with TOGAF®

== Architecture Description Languages ⌘==
* ADL term is used in many engineering communities
* There is no de-facto standard for Architecture Description Language (ADL)
* In the software engineering community, an ADL relates to software architectures
* Most of ADLs have academic background (CMU)

Some Examples of ADL:
* Acme (CMU)
* AADL (standardized by SAE, Latest version 2009-01-20)
* C2 (developed by UCI)
* Darwin (developed by Imperial College London)
* Wright (developed by CMU)

== SoaML ⌘==
* OMG Standard based on UML (2012)
* Described in details lateron

== Suitability for EA⌘ ==
Languages suitable for describing EA should:
* Define relationship (integration) between domains (views)
* Clear semantics
* Cover both, the business and the technology with clear relationship between them

* UML seems to be able to describe it clearly, but its semantics is too general
* There are a lot of profiles for UML which make the UML specific enough to describe EA in an unambiguous way
* Most of the frameworks use UML profiles or Meta-models based on UML
