“The main value of common repository is to be one source of the truth for many stakeholders and participants of the realized initiaves. It means different languages (notations) in one place - real Babel Tower.
How to organize information and how navigate in such sophisticated environment keep simplicity and purity of the information? I'll try to explain my approach and share some ideas based on Enterprise Architecture perspective modeled in ArchiMate 3.1, Business Domain perspective described by BPMN 2.0 and finally get to the conclusion on project level with UML modeling.
To provide well understanding of the ide I'll use Prolaborate as a tool for knowledge sharing and engaging all participants. ...audience too will be welcomed to be involved in!”

One of the most frequent challenges our clients who use Enterprise Architect (EA) is producing *.docx and *pdf documents using EA’s built-in documentation generation especially when those documents have to conform to an organisation’s branding style. This session will focus on getting the documentation generation basics correct. Specifically, the session will cover, through worked examples:

• Options available for documentation generation.
• Types of document templates
• Creating and testing a basic template
• How repository structure can affect template creation
• Analysing a document to determine how many templates are required including a Cover Page
• Options for combining templates including Master / Model Documents and Custom Documents
• Examining a document to determine content, layout, fonts and styles
• Creating and using a Style Sheet to apply styles to templates
• Managing numbered headings using List Overrides

During this presentation Han will talk about the approach that was initiated in the beginning of this year to find another way of working, modelling and publication of analysis and data exchange standards within the container shipping industry. He will connect business analysis with data and REST Apis. After presenting the previous situation the new situation is shown by using EA and Prolaborate. Topics to be presented are BPMN, Use Case and API modelling and the lineage between the various elements to prove completeness and correctness. Publication of the models improve the consistency between the different design layers as well as early feedback by the various business analysts and developers of the various container shipping companies.

This presentation considers the creation of organisation-wide enterprise architecture models for larger companies. We will explore the importance of a well-defined metamodel and set of operational guidelines, and reflect on the need to take an iterative approach to constructing essential viewpoints that can gradually be combined into a central model to create a holistic understanding of the company’s current and future architecture.
