Information System
The information system symbol describes the various components of a system that are used to collect, process, store, and transmit information. An information system is a set of interrelated components that work together to support the creation, storage, processing, and dissemination of information within an organization.
In a diagram the information system symbol would be used to represent the various elements of a company’s information technology infrastructure, including hardware, software, databases, networks, and other components. The symbol might be used in a high-level architectural diagram, for example, to show the relationships between the different components of the information system and how they support the operations of the company.
For example, the symbol might be used to represent a company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which is used to manage a wide range of business processes, such as accounting, human resources, and supply chain management. In this context, the symbol would be connected to other symbols, such as “databases” or “business processes,” to show how the information system supports the operations of the company.

Include
The include relationship adds additional functionality not specified in the base use case. The <<Include>> relationship is used to include common behavior from an included use case into a base use case in order to support the reuse of common behavior.
Incident
The Incident is used to register some kind of event that needs to be handled, e.g to document a DataBreach.
The incident can also be used in a more broader sence to capture “any kind of event”. This way a user can register an incident, and then an “investigator” can transfer the incident to another flow, e.g. to the Accident flow.
There is a standard governance workflow for incidents which enables you to progress the incident through the stages.
The governance workflow control the incident. Once it is created by a user, it is send to investigation by the responsible. The indicent can:
- “stay” in its own flow and progress through the stages “Handling”, “Finished” and finally “Closed”
- or the incident can be transferred to a complaint, non-conformance, change request or accident. This way the end user just have to register an incident and then the “investigator” has the possibility to “re-categorize” it to a more destinct flow. When an incident is transferred, the Incident is closed and a link is created to the tranferred object in the relevant flow.
There is a standard Tile for Incident Management of the Compliance Desktop.
Implementation Event : ArchiMate
A state change related to implementation or migration. The name of an implementation event should preferably be a verb in the perfect tense; e.g., “project initiation phase completed”.
Impact Quantity
Impact quantity refers to the measurement of the effect or impact that a particular component or factor has on the overall system. It is used to quantify the magnitude or extent of the impact that a particular variable or input has on the system.
