General Archi Discussion / Re: Taxonomy Manager for Manag...
Last post by Alberto - May 03, 2024, 15:56:23 PMI started looking into this and I've found a few things which I'm going to share out loud in case anyone has thoughts or experience and can chime in.
Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is a W3C recommendation and seems to be one of the most widely adopted standards for representing and managing knowledge organization systems such as taxonomies, thesauri, and classification schemes, there are a few other similar standards and initiatives like Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI). Google Trends shows higher trends for SKOS in Europe while DCMI seems more prevalent in USA.
Diving into SKOS I found two tools that implement SKOS: TemaTres, Protégé, PoolParty. I've tried Protégé before and Ontologies have a bit of a learning curve, PoolParty is a full fledged commercial tool of semantic applications with a 30 day trial but no "community" version, so I decided to explore TemaTres as it's open-source and requires Apache/PHP/MySQL which is a stack I'm familiar with. The good news is that it is easy and there are a number of functionalities which I find really useful like the ability to add remote vocabularies. Publishing the taxonomy via API, RDF, & SPARQL, etc.
I see a lot of use cases for being able to publish a managed vocabulary, particularly among a team of IT Analysts, so I find that avenue worth exploring, however, I don't have the entire picture as to how to leverage TemaTres/RDF/SPARQL to manage Archi Specializations but I'm sure jArchi will play a key role is putting all this together.
Again, if anyone has thoughts around this, I'm all ears.

Thanks, I corrected the original.

Last post by Xiaoqi - May 02, 2024, 13:36:30 PMHi Phil,
Thanks for your quick help and your hacking line is really the working solution.
I've added that in line 337, and got below button and it can do "clear" magically (see attached screen).
Just a tiny comment, the file "frame.stg" is in one further subfolder "st" in my Windows PC, the full path for that is here:
Nice day and regards,
Xiaoqi

Last post by Phil Beauvoir - May 02, 2024, 11:23:03 AMHi Xiaoqi,
I could not find a command to do this. As a workaround I hacked the following file to add a "Clear" button (assuming you're on Windows using Archi 5.3):
Archi\plugins\com.archimatetool.reports_5.3.0.202403191218\templates\st\frame.stg
Insert this at line 337:

General Archi Discussion / [Share] Practice on Query Arch...
Last post by Xiaoqi - May 02, 2024, 04:23:50 AMHello all,
I've using one reference model (Open Group's ArchiSurance case study) as sample, summarized several queries to demo to you how to use AlaSQL dealing the Archi Model, feel free to read this article:
https://yasenstar.github.io/EA/architool/Query-Archi-HTML-Report.html and you may use that as reference to query your own model.
Happy playing the query, which helped me a lot!
Any questions or comments, just let me know.

Last post by Xiaoqi - May 02, 2024, 01:48:45 AMExcept using command, I found one workaround, you can click the Model Name in the left panel's Model Tree, then the screen will be back and the right part's tab will be back to "Purpose" (the first one). After this, when you click "Query" the query window will be cleared.

Last post by Xiaoqi - May 01, 2024, 22:01:54 PMHello,
As topic mentions, I raised this in AlaSQL discussion board as well: https://github.com/AlaSQL/alasql/discussions/1918.
Hope to get some hints from our focum here. Thanks!

Last post by mark_s - May 01, 2024, 21:42:59 PMThanks for confirming. Just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a way to have multiple models co-habit the same Repo.
Cheers

General Archi Discussion / Taxonomy Manager for Managing ...
Last post by Alberto - May 01, 2024, 18:28:29 PMAs we start to create more and more "specialized" objects, we are starting to lose track of the definitions behind these specializations. We also have groups of specializations and using prefixes in their names for added context, but again, these are a bit rudimentary solutions.
Last I had to look on the market for a taxonomy tool, there were tools at either extreme (small, limited functionality and/or behemoth complex tools). I wonder if anyone knows of any easy, accessible, easy-learning curve tools --preferably one based on a standard-- to manage taxonomies/ontologies that could play well with managing Specializations within Archi models.
