Orthogramic Metamodel – JSON-LD Ontology Summary
This document defines the structured, schema-based representation of business architecture domains used by Orthogramic, with mappings designed for semantic interoperability with external frameworks including BIAN, TOGAF, and http://schema.org .
Overview
Format: JSON-LD
Purpose: Enable semantic APIs, business architecture alignment, and integration with banking and enterprise models

Domains
Capabilities
Defines what an organisation is able to do, independent of how it is done. Serves as the bridge between strategy and operations. Mapped to: bian:BusinessCapability
Services
Represents business or technical offerings delivered to customers, internal stakeholders, or partner systems. Mapped to: bian:ServiceDomain
Stakeholders
Describes people, groups, or institutions that influence or are influenced by the organisation. Mapped to: foaf:Agent
Value Streams
Models the stages of value creation — showing how value flows from initiation to outcome. Mapped to: bian:ValueStream
Initiatives
Captures programs, projects, or major efforts that enable change and implement strategy. Mapped to: bian:InitiativeProgram
Policy
Describes regulatory obligations, internal controls, and formal decision-making rules. Mapped to: bian:PolicyRule
Information
Captures data entities, structures, and custodianship aligned with business capabilities and governance. Mapped to: schema:Dataset
(complemented by BIAN data specification constructs)
Performance
Measures outcomes and progress via KPIs and metrics linked to strategic objectives. Mapped to: bian:PerformanceAssessment
, bian:PerformanceIndicator
Strategic Response Model (SRM)
Links Triggers, Rationales, and Strategic Responses across domains to support dynamic alignment and decision-making. Mapped to:
bian:TriggerEvent
bian:RationaleForChange
bian:ResponseStrategy
Use in Semantic APIs
This metamodel enables:
Federated querying of architecture data
Business-aligned API responses
Linked data representations of capability maps, governance models, and change strategies
Interoperability between banking systems (via BIAN) and enterprise architecture platforms
