BIAN (Banking Industry Architecture Network) and the Archimate® Modeling Language

Описание: Expressing the BIAN® Reference Model for the Banking Industry in the ArchiMate® Modeling Language

The Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) published version 8.0 of its financial industry reference architecture. This provides a comprehensive model of the business capabilities, business scenarios, service domains and business objects used in banking and other financial services.

To foster its adoption, BIAN version 8.0 has been expressed in a standard notation with the ArchiMate® 3 language.

The core of the BIAN reference model is its Service Landscape. This consists of discrete non-overlapping building blocks of business capacity that exchange services. Such a building block is called a service domain and is best represented in the ArchiMate language using the Capability concept. The interactions between the service domains realize the business activities that make a bank a bank. On top of this Service Landscape sits the Capability Landscape, the top level of which is shown below. As you can see, it also uses the ArchiMate Capability concept.
