“…Tools for enterprise architecture must be able to support viewpoint definition and view creation from viewpoints. According to (Kramer and Finkelstein, 1991), viewpoints can be seen as configurations of the tool integration framework for a specific stakeholder. This line of thinking is the basis for the use of viewpoint in the ArchiMate workbench.…”

Enterprise architecture incorporates the specification of relations between different domains, each speaking its own languages and using its own tools. As a consequence, the enterprise architecture asks for the integration of existing modelling tools. This integration has both technical and conceptual aspects. On a technical level, models in different formats managed by dedicated tools need to be related. On a conceptual level, models are expressed in different modelling languages or conceptual schemas, making the integration of these models complex. In this paper we present the design of a workbench for enterprise architecture that serves as a tool integration environment and a modelling tool at the same time: it supports both technical integration of existing modelling tools and conceptual integration of modelling schemas. The workbench is a viewpoint-driven environment that provides the means to bring together and elaborate upon existing heterogeneous content, as well as to break down existing content into more specific content managed by dedicated tools. This viewpoint-driven environment serves as a starting point for report generation for stakeholders more remote to the architecture design process. Moreover, re-use of architectural assets is supported in straightforward manner by a transparent disclosure of existing design artefacts in one integrated environment.

This paper proposes an object-based framework for the development of heterogeneous, composite systems. Such systems require the use of multiple notations and development strategies to describe multiple developer perspectives. The framework employs coarse-grain objects, called ViewPoints, that represent "agents" having "rolesin" and "views-of" a problem domain. These ViewPoints are loosely coupled, locally managed encapsulations, integrated via inter-ViewPoint consistency relations and transformations.Tool integration is treated as a special case of method integration, and is demonstrated by The√iewer -a prototype support environment presented in this paper. The√iewer supports the proposed framework, and illustrates how ViewPoints may be used for method design, description, integration and use. Developed in Objectworks/Smalltalk, it maps the object-based framework onto an object-oriented implementation. The top level architecture and implementation of The√iewer is also briefly presented.
