However, just like architectural diagrams are often misinterp reted due to the fact that each stakeholder interp rets the p icture in its own way, architectural concep ts also are often misinterp reted. T his has led to the I E E E standard which had the amb ition to resolve these amb iguities. D esp ite the fact that there seems to b e increasing consensus on the terminology used, in p ractice one still finds many distinct definitions of relevant architectural concep ts, such as model, meta-model, and view. I n this chap ter we define the notions we need in the remainder of the b ook. T hese definitions are b ased on several standards, most imp ortantly the I E E E standard, the conventions in U M L, and other conventions used in daily p ractice. I n general, we develop a language to talk ab out the integration of architectural domains, and we have to b e p recise as all concep ts have b een used in other areas too, and ty p ically are already over-

There are three important observations we have to mak e here. F irst, the above f ou r c onc epts and their rel ations are u sed in eng ineering both f or inf ormal as wel l as f ormal model s. The rel evant distinc tion we emphasise between sy mbol ic and semantic model s is the distinc tion between u sing sy mbol s to ref er to real ity, and abstrac tions of real ity that onl y ref er to real ity by interpreting the sy mbol s of the sy mbol ic model. N ote that this is not the same distinc tion as that between inf ormal and f ormal model s: within the c l ass of inf ormal model s, expressed f or exampl e in natu ral l ang u ag e, both k inds exist, as wel l as within the c l ass of f ormal model s, expressed f or exampl e in f irst-order l og ic. S ec ond, an arc hitec tu re may be expressed by mu l tipl e sy mbol ic model s, and one sy mbol ic model may in tu rn be interpreted by several semantic model s. F or exampl e, we mig ht def ine separate semantic model s f or perf ormanc e and f or c ost of a sy stem that is expressed by one sy mbol ic model, e. g., in U M L. Third, in arc hitec tu re of ten a distinc tion is made between the archit e c- t u ral s e m an t ics and the f o rm al s e m an t ics of a model l ing l ang u ag e.

P u m f, m f U f H f U,, m v U f (, P U 0 ), f W W f m O f m The ArchiMate approach can be contrasted with the original approach in ML which we described in hap. 2. n this approach, sem antics was ex - plicitly lef t ou t of the program eople who sed the odels cou ld dev elop sem antics or them bu t a general sem antics was not su pplied. This approach also stem ed rom the origins of ML as a com bination of three ex isting notations that did not hav e orm al sem antics. ence, the ocu s of ML was and is on notation, i. e. sy ntax and not on sem antics. Althou gh som e of the diagram s of the ore recent ersions of ML hav e a orm al sem antics see, e. g. the tok en-based etrinet-lik e sem antics of activ ity diagram s in ML 2. there is no ov erall sem antics or the entire langu age. e hav e tak en the opposite approach. e do not pu t the notation of the ArchiMate langu age central, bu t rather ocu s on the eaning of the langu age concepts and their relations. cou rse, any odelling langu age needs a notation and we do su pply a standard way of depicting the Archi- Mate concepts, bu t this is su bordinate to the architectu ral sem antics of the langu age.
