I would like to enhance Archi with a Data Dictionary feature by using the Yourdon semantic which I consider excellent for capturing and translating needs (business and data objects, flows & documents) in terms of enterprise architecture.
I have no idea about the best way to realize the extension :
1) Eclipse ?
2) jArchi ?
3) Other ?
The first idea is to have an enhanced editor for a given properties into given archimate element (business object, application data object, artefact, flow, document)
The second issue is to determine where in the model we can store the definitions of the elements that compose the data dictionary (recursively up to elementary level).
That means that the properties value (the semantic) will refer to the data dictionary. The enhanced editor should be able to interpret the semantic and navigate the dictionary hierarchy to display the compositions and the definitions at elementary level.
Any idea or recommandations is welcome.
