Busienss Domain vs. Line of Busienss
Posted: 18 Jul 2012, 15:27
I am trying to model an organization that is comprised of several organizational units (based on the TOGAF 9.1 definition of Organization Unit). There is a single parent organization, then three core/primary organizational units. Each Primary organizational unit has (n) organizational units within it. Each of the organizations may have their own set of business, technology, infrastructure, and application groupings(layers).
The essential project has the concept of Domain, but this is in the context or/contained within an organization. How could I model( or extend the current implementation) to handle this many -> many relationships. Also as a note - we are working towards ( a future architecture state) some form of consolidation of organizational processes/functions into common processes/functions provided by the root organization as well as a sub-organizational unit providing some common processes.
Basically its a recursive many -> many relationship. In addition, we are using TOGAF 9.1 as our foundational meta-model - so I am overlaying/mapping TOGAF 9.1 terms onto/into the essential meta model.
As I work with the tool, I will provide additional feedback (if I can determine how to handle some of these situations).
