Templates and model types in the QualiWare platform.

Knowledge Source:DMN

In Decision Model and Notation (DMN), the “Knowledge Source” symbol represents a source of knowledge that is used in the decision-making process. A Knowledge Source is an element in the DMN model that provides information, rules, or other types of knowledge to support decision-making.

The Knowledge Source symbol is represented as a rectangle with an angled side. Knowledge Sources are connected to other elements in the DMN model using arrows that indicate the flow of knowledge or information.

There are several types of Knowledge Sources in DMN. For example, a Knowledge Source might represent an expert in a particular domain, a set of business rules, a regulatory guideline, or any other type of knowledge that is relevant to the decision-making process. Knowledge Sources can be used in conjunction with decision tables, decision requirements diagrams, or other elements in the DMN model to provide the information and rules necessary to make informed decisions.

Knowledge Requirement DMN

Knowledge Requirement in DMN (Decision Model and Notation) refers to the concept of specifying the knowledge required to make a decision within a business process. This can include the expertise, skills, or experience that is needed to support the decision-making process, as well as the sources of that knowledge.

For example, a line might connect a decision to an expert system to represent how the decision relies on expertise from that system. Similarly, a line might connect a decision tree to a decision to represent how the decision relies on a structured approach to decision-making.

Key Performance Indicator

In a diagram, a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a metric or indicator that measures how effectively an organization is achieving its key business objectives. KPIs help organizations track progress toward strategic goals and identify areas where improvement is needed.

KPIs are used in various types of diagrams, such as business process diagrams, balanced scorecards, and performance dashboards. Examples of KPIs include revenue growth, customer satisfaction ratings, employee turnover rates, and website traffic. The choice of KPIs depends on the specific objectives of the organization and the nature of the business.

An example of a KPI in QualiWare would be:

Junction : ArchiMate

Used in a number of situations to connect relationships of the same type. A junction is not an actual relationship in the same sense as the other relationships, but rather a relationship connector. A junction may have multiple incoming relationships and one outgoing relationship, one incoming relationship and multiple outgoing relationships, or multiple incoming and outgoing relationships (the latter can be considered a shorthand of two contiguous junctions). An “and” junction is used to explicitly express that all elements together must participate in the relationship. An “or” junction is used to express that at least one of the elements participates in the relationship. The “or” junction can be used to express both inclusive and exclusive or conditions, which could be indicated by a modeler by naming the junction to reflect its type.

IT Support

IT support is a type of connection used in information technology (IT) management to represent the support relationship between different IT components or systems.

In IT management, different components or systems may require support from other components or systems in order to function properly. For example, an application may require support from a database system, or a server may require support from a network infrastructure. The IT support connection represents this relationship and indicates that a particular component or system is providing support to another component or system.
