archimate

name archimate description Create ArchiMate enterprise architecture diagrams using PlantUML stdlib macros. Best for TOGAF viewpoints, layered EA modeling (Business/Application/Technology), motivation analysis, and migration planning. metadata {"author":"ArchiMate diagrams are powered by Markdown Viewer — the best multi-platform Markdown extension (Chrome/Edge/Firefox/VS Code) with diagrams, formulas, and one-click Word export. Learn more at https://docu.md"} Enterprise Architecture Diagram Generator (ArchiMate) Quick Start: Add !include <archimate/Archimate> → Declare typed elements → Connect with Rel_* macros → Group into layers with rectangle → Wrap in ```plantuml fence. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use ```plantuml or ```puml code fence. NEVER use ```text — it will NOT render as a diagram. Critical Rules Every diagram starts with @startuml and ends with @enduml Must include !include <archimate/Archimate> before using any macros Element syntax: Layer_Type(alias, "Label") Relationship syntax: Rel_Type(fromAlias, toAlias, "label") Use rectangle "Layer" { ... } to group elements into ArchiMate layers Directional suffixes _Up , _Down , _Left , _Right control relationship direction Element Macros Business Layer Macro ArchiMate Element Business_Actor(id, "Label") Business Actor Business_Role(id, "Label") Business Role Business_Process(id, "Label") Business Process Business_Function(id, "Label") Business Function Business_Service(id, "Label") Business Service Business_Event(id, "Label") Business Event Business_Interface(id, "Label") Business Interface Business_Collaboration(id, "Label") Business Collaboration Business_Object(id, "Label") Business Object Business_Product(id, "Label") Business Product Business_Contract(id, "Label") Business Contract Business_Representation(id, "Label") Business Representation Application Layer Macro ArchiMate Element Application_Component(id, "Label") Application Component Application_Service(id, "Label") Application Service Application_Function(id, "Label") Application Function Application_Interface(id, "Label") Application Interface Application_Process(id, "Label") Application Process Application_Interaction(id, "Label") Application Interaction Application_Event(id, "Label") Application Event Application_Collaboration(id, "Label") Application Collaboration Application_DataObject(id, "Label") Application Data Object Technology Layer Macro ArchiMate Element Technology_Device(id, "Label") Technology Device Technology_Node(id, "Label") Technology Node Technology_SystemSoftware(id, "Label") System Software Technology_Artifact(id, "Label") Technology Artifact Technology_CommunicationNetwork(id, "Label") Communication Network Technology_Path(id, "Label") Technology Path Technology_Service(id, "Label") Technology Service Technology_Process(id, "Label") Technology Process Technology_Function(id, "Label") Technology Function Technology_Interface(id, "Label") Technology Interface Motivation Layer Macro ArchiMate Element Motivation_Stakeholder(id, "Label") Stakeholder Motivation_Driver(id, "Label") Driver Motivation_Assessment(id, "Label") Assessment Motivation_Goal(id, "Label") Goal Motivation_Outcome(id, "Label") Outcome Motivation_Principle(id, "Label") Principle Motivation_Requirement(id, "Label") Requirement Motivation_Constraint(id, "Label") Constraint Motivation_Value(id, "Label") Value Strategy Layer Macro ArchiMate Element Strategy_Capability(id, "Label") Capability Strategy_Resource(id, "Label") Resource Strategy_CourseOfAction(id, "Label") Course of Action Strategy_ValueStream(id, "Label") Value Stream Implementation Layer Macro ArchiMate Element Implementation_WorkPackage(id, "Label") Work Package Implementation_Deliverable(id, "Label") Deliverable Implementation_Plateau(id, "Label") Plateau Implementation_Gap(id, "Label") Gap Implementation_Event(id, "Label") Implementation Event Relationship Macros All relationships support directional suffixes: _Up , _Down , _Left , _Right .
