Resource-Based and Value-Based Extension for Archimate

The concept of resource and value in the archimate that is too general allows for modeling and communication problems. Therefore, an ontological analysis is needed to evaluate and redesign the concept of resource and value on the archimate. In this paper, Unified foundational ontology (UFO) is used in conducting an ontological analysis on the concept of resource and value. An ontological analysis is done by considering the mapping between the concept on Archimate and ontology concept on UFO. Semantic problems in resource and value concepts are found when the ontological analysis is performed. The result of this study is Archimate extension with the improvement of resource and value concept. The resulting extension was successfully applied in case studies and was able to handle semantic problems that were identified.
