Core Concepts

Capability & Landscape Mapping

Business capabilities, information architecture, and the enterprise landscape.

This is the structural core of Arvane: the layer that connects what the business does (capabilities), what data it depends on (information architecture), and how it's actually deployed (the enterprise landscape) — independent of which specific applications happen to implement any of it today.

Business Capabilities

/capabilities models an L1–L3 capability hierarchy with maturity scoring and application links.

  • Capability Matrix (/capabilities/matrix) — cross-reference L3 capabilities against the applications that support them
  • Gap & Redundancy Analysis (/capabilities/analysis) — surface maturity gaps and cases where multiple applications overlap in coverage
  • Framework Catalogs (/capabilities/frameworks) — start from TOGAF ADM, an ArchiMate-lite metamodel, or industry packs including APQC, BIAN, NIST CSF, BIZBOK, PCF, SABSA, and NIST AI RMF lite

Organization Units

/organization maps business units to the capabilities they own or consume.

Information Architecture

/architecture/data models data objects, data stores, classification, and ER-style data flows — the information layer underneath the application layer.

Enterprise Landscape

/architecture/landscape is a zone-grouped diagram of deployment topology.

  • Current & future state — drag-save layout, blast-radius analysis, capability overlay, and TOGAF viewpoints
  • Federation — applications auto-link to landscape nodes; portfolio dependencies sync to linkages; CMDB sync upserts landscape nodes
  • ABB/SBB catalog & stencils — building block type, lifecycle state, and compliance fields, plus AWS/Azure stencil support
  • Import, export, and sync — JSON, CSV, PNG, SVG, and ArchiMate XML Open Exchange, with diagram ↔ repository sync

ArchiMate Modeling

/modeling is a visual ArchiMate editor with checkout-enforced save, version history, and auto-diagram generation from repository data.
