Enterprise architecture modelling with ArchiMate

The Data-Driven Bio-economy project (DataBio) focuses on developing new technologies and services for agriculture, fishery and forestry by exploiting the huge potential of Big Data technologies. This Lighthouse project includes 27 pilots and 91 technological components provided by 27 of the 48 project partners. It applies a standard Enterprise Architecture modelling language: “ArchiMate 3.0”. ArchiMate models are created with the tool “Modelio” which allows contributors to create ArchiMate diagrams and collaborate on a synchronized version of the models. The DataBio models cover different aspects of the project from the specification phase including requirements, goals and strategies, to the implementation phase by describing the different processes of the tasks included in the work packages and representing the technological components. This paper describes the use of ArchiMate modelling applied in the context of the DataBio research project.
