Primarily narrative

Fully structured JSON Schemas

Interrelationships

Implicit, often described narratively

Explicit artefacts: e.g. Inter-unit domain relationships

Scenarios

Use-case driven

Strategic Response Model formalised via triggers and structured responses

Implementation focus

Often abstract

Designed for live, API-enabled systems

4. Applying your BIZBOK knowledge

BIZBOK Concept

Orthogramic Equivalent or Enhancement

Capability map

Capability artefacts with inter-unit relationships

Stakeholder map

Stakeholders artefact, plus traceable stakeholder requirements

Value stream stage maps

Value Stream artefact + Trigger integration via SRM

Information concept model

Information artefact with data custodianship and access roles

Governance structure

Embedded via custodian roles, ownership models, and policy artefacts

Business scenarios

Formalised through the SRM and response modelling tools

You can start by converting your existing capability and value stream maps into structured artefacts and layering inter-unit relationships to visualise ownership and dependency.

  1. Review the Metamodel schemas
    Start with the Capabilities, Information, and Stakeholders domains
    Model overview

  2. Use inter-unit relationships to map governance
    Apply the Inter-unit relationships schema → Inter-unit domain relationships

  3. Model a Strategic Response
    Use the Strategic Response Model to simulate a business event and the intended architectural response → Strategic Response Model

  4. Embed automation
    With JSON schema conformance, the model can be consumed by APIs, validation engines, and workflow tools. Start with Organization → Organization

  5. Contribute to the open source model
    The Orthogramic Metamodel is available under Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 for use and contribution → Open Source
