Answer:

A

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, the diagram uses a specialization relationship to
indicate that the two business roles Travel Insurance Claim Analyst and Home Insurance Product
Specialist are more specific versions of the business role Specialist. A specialization relationship is a
type of structural relationship that indicates that an object is a specialization of another object. The
notation for a specialization relationship is a solid line with an empty triangle at the end that points
to the more general element.

Answer:

D

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, a data object is a passive structure element that
represents a piece of data that can be manipulated by behavior elements such as application
functions or services. A passive structure element is a structural element that cannot perform
behavior. Active structure elements can perform behavior on passive structure elements.

Structure Elements, Subsection 4.1.1 Active Structure Elements 1; ArchiMate® 3.2 Specification,

Answer:

D

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, a technology function represents a collection of
technology behavior that can be performed by a node. The diagram uses a composition relationship
to indicate that technology function A consists of four other technology functions. The notation for a
composition relationship is a solid line with a filled diamond at the end that points to the whole
element. The diagram also uses an information flow relationship to indicate that information is
exchanged from Administrate Replication to the other functions. The notation for an information
flow relationship is a dashed line with an open arrowhead at the end that points to the direction of
the flow.

Answer:

C

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, the ArchiMate standard provides a set of entities
and relationships for representing Architecture Description. Architecture Description is a work
product used to express an architecture for a system-of-interest. The ArchiMate language is an open
and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool
vendors and consulting firms.

Answer:

A

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, a realization relationship indicates that an entity
plays a critical role in the creation, achievement, sustenance, or operation of a more abstract entity.
A serving relationship models that an element provides its functionality to another element. The
diagram should use a realization relationship from the Risk Assessment service to the Enterprise Risk
Management process to indicate that the service realizes the process. The diagram should also use a
serving relationship from the Risk Measurement application to the Risk Assessment service to
indicate that the application serves the service.

Answer:

C

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, the top-level language structure of the
ArchiMate concepts defines four types of elements: Behavior, Composite, Motivation, and Structure.
Behavior elements represent units of activity performed by one or more active structure elements.
Composite elements represent collections of other concepts that belong together based on some
criteri
a. Motivation elements represent the reasons for designing and implementing an architecture.
Structure elements represent structural concepts that model the static construction or composition
of concepts of the same or different types.

Answer:

B

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, an application interface represents a point of
access where an application service is made available to a user, another application component, or a
node. An application interface specifies how the functionality of a component can be accessed by
other elements. The notation for an application interface is a square with a small circle attached to it.

Answer:

B

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, the generic metamodel defines two main types
of elements: structure and behavior. Structure elements represent the structural concepts that model
the static construction or composition of concepts of the same or different types. Behavior elements
represent units of activity performed by one or more active structure elements.

Answer:

B

Explanation:
Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, a communication network represents a set of
structures that connects devices or system software for transmission, routing, and reception of dat
a. A path models the relation between two or more technology internal active structure elements,
through which these can exchange information. The diagram uses a flow relationship to indicate that
data flows from server B to communication network E, then through path F to communication
network I. The notation for a flow relationship is a dashed line with an open arrowhead at the end
that points to the direction of the flow.
