Information architecture conventions

For all information within the Information architecture area to be properly displayed models of the Program flow chart type must exist. They are automatically created in the same database group in which the IT system is defined as an application system type (system type System) and in the database group Interfaces.

This area is subdivided in the areas Interfaces and Managed data.

Interfaces

This area shows all interfaces with other IT systems described in detail in program flow charts. The connection transmits data to shows that an interface exists between two IT systems. The interface can be specified in detail in a model of the Program flow chart type assigned to the transmits data to connection. In addition to the data flows via the interface, the relevant transmission protocol is taken into account. A new relationship, including another assigned model, is created for each protocol and direction.

Managed data

This area shows all data using the IT system and all processes supported by the IT system.
