Triggering : ArchiMate
The triggering relationship is used to model the temporal or causal precedence of behavior elements in a process. The usual interpretation of a triggering relationship is that the source element should be completed before the target element can start, although weaker interpretations are also permitted. Note that this does not necessarily represent that one behavior element actively starts another; a traffic light turning green also triggers the cars to go through the intersection.
Type Relationship
The ‘is instance of’ relationship goes from a concept to a type concept, from a type concept to a meta concept, or from a meta concept to a meta meta concept, and so on.
User Label
An actual label.
Value : ArchiMate
Value may apply to what a party gets by selling or making available some product or service, or it may apply to what a party gets by buying or obtaining access to it. Value is often expressed in terms of money, but it has long since been recognized that non-monetary value is also essential to business; for example, practical/functional value (including the right to use a service), and the value of information or knowledge. Though value can hold internally for some system or organizational unit, it is most typically applied to external appreciation of goods, services, information, knowledge, or money, normally as part of some sort of customer-provider relationship.
A value can be associated with all core elements of an architecture as well as with outcomes. To model the stakeholder for whom this value applies, this stakeholder can also be associated with that value. Although the name of a value can be expressed in many different ways (including amounts, objects), where the “functional” value of an architecture element is concerned it is recommended to try and express it as an action or state that can be performed or reached as a result of the corresponding element being available.
Vision
Idea that the the future strategy will seek to realize.
Window
A design of a dialog in the developed system.
WorkFlow Condition
A workflow condition is a symbol on the WorkFlowDiagram that is used to split the path through the diagram into two. Depending on the workflow condition either one of the paths are chosen.
WorkPackage : ArchiMate
The central behavioral element is a work package. A work package is a behavior element that has a clearly defined start and end date, and realizes a well-defined set of goals or deliverables. The work package element can be used to model sub-projects or tasks within a project, complete projects, programs, or project portfolios.
Conceptually, a work package is similar to a business process, in that it consists of a set of causally-related tasks, aimed at producing a well-defined result. However, a work package is a unique, “one-off” process. Still, a work package can be described in a way very similar to the description of a process.
Zone
A zone is typically defined by a port on the firewall.
