Description
The ArchiMate language describes a framework of Layers & Aspects , but there doesn't seem to be any reflection of this in jArchi. It would be useful, for example, to be able to have a selection filter that would just pick out:
-
Just the Motivation elements:
$("motivation")
-
Behaviour elements (whether Function, Process Collaboration or Service) assigned from a Role:
$( thisRole ).outRels( "assignment-relationship" ).each( function( r ) {
if ( r.target.aspect === "behavior" ){ ....
If, as planned, layers become domains in v4.0, with behaviour elements consolidated into a new Common domain, the only way to distinguish business behaviour from application or technology behaviour will be by determining the directly connected structural elements.
Rather than test each active structure element individually (Actor, Role, Collaboration), it would be more elegant to be able simply to write:
$( thisProcess ).inRels( "assignment-relationship" ).each( function( r ) {
if ( r.source.domain=== "business" ){ ....
