usm/gen-archimate

ArchiMate 3.1 generator — produces an Open Exchange XML model (XMI 2.1) from USM data for enterprise architecture tools.

Why this exists

Enterprise architecture teams use ArchiMate tools (Archi, BiZZdesign, Orbus iServer). The ArchiMate generator translates .usm services, features, and data into a standard Open Exchange XML model importable by these tools.

How it works

Generate ArchiMate model (gen-archimate)

Produce model.xml with ArchiMate elements and relationships

1. Parse — all .usm files (system, services, features, data)
2. Generate — XMI elements for ApplicationComponent, BusinessFunction, DataEntity
3. Generate — XMI relationships (Serving, Realization, Access)
4. Submit — write model.xml
