Introduction
The Orthogramic Metamodel is designed to facilitate semantic interoperability across diverse enterprise architecture frameworks. To support this objective, we have developed detailed JSON-LD context mappings for two prominent frameworks:
BIAN (Banking Industry Architecture Network) – a service-oriented architecture model tailored for the banking and financial services sector
SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework – SAP’s structured approach to modelling enterprise architecture in SAP-centric environments
These mappings enable seamless integration between the Orthogramic Metamodel and these established frameworks, promoting consistency and reuse in enterprise modelling, data transformation, and knowledge graph construction.
Additional context mappings will be added over time as further interoperability requirements emerge, including support for standards such as ArchiMate, TOGAF, and others used across industry and government.
Adjacent metamodels
1. BIAN (Banking Industry Architecture Network)
...
Focus: Military systems architecture and interoperability
Key concepts: Capability, Performer, Activity, Resource Flow, Standards
Adjacency: Orthogramic’s Capabilities, Stakeholders, Initiatives, and Value Streams map well conceptually
Comparison: DoDAF is highly formal, based on mission assurance and traceability; Orthogramic is lighter, more flexible
Used by: Defence agencies, system-of-systems architects, NATO/coalition partners
Summary comparison table
Framework / Metamodel | Focus Area | Orthogramic Mapping Strength | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
BIAN | Banking services architecture | High | Service domains map to Orthogramic Services and Capabilities |
SAP EA Framework | Enterprise architecture for SAP | Medium–High | Mappable via Value Streams and Capabilities |
TOGAF | EA methodology and governance | High (method), Medium (metamodel) | Orthogramic can provide structural content for TOGAF ADM phases |
ArchiMate | EA modelling language | Medium–High | Orthogramic data can generate or map to ArchiMate views |
FIBO | Financial industry semantics | Medium | Complements Information and Policy domains |
APQC PCF | Process classification framework | Medium | Aligns with Value Streams and Capability Processes |
Zachman | EA classification schema | Medium | Orthogramic offers structured data where Zachman provides classification |
DMN | Business decision modelling | Medium | Maps to Policy and Process domains for business rule integration |
UAF | Systems-of-systems architecture | Medium | Partial mapping to Capabilities, Initiatives, Strategy |
FEAF | Federal EA framework (US gov) | High | Strong alignment with Capabilities, Performance, Information |
BMM (OMG) | Business motivation model | Very High | Orthogramic’s Strategic Response Model is a superset |
BIZBOK | Business architecture | High | Shared domains (Capabilities, Value Streams, etc.) |
DMBOK (DAMA) | Data governance and management | Medium | Extends Information and Policy domains for stewardship and lineage |
DoDAF DM2 | Defence systems architecture metamodel | Medium–High | Maps to Capabilities, Stakeholders, Initiatives; Orthogramic is more agile |
