This tool provides a converter from Archi models to the process context model. It comes in two flavours

  • as a plugin to Archi

Requirements & Execution

Requirements

  • Archi Version 2.6.0+
  • JDK >= 1.6 installed
  • Ant installed

To build the project, run "ant dist" from the project root folder. This will call the dist-standalone and dist-plugin tasks to build both flavours. Alternatively, you can just run the specific dist-* task that you want.

  • To run the standalone version, use following command. Where 'input file' is the Archimate file, and 'output file' will contain the converted OWL instance.

    java -jar dist/net.timbusproject.context.archi2owl-standalone.jar -i 'input file' -o 'output file'

  • In case you want to use the plugin, copy the generated jar file 'dist/net.timbusproject.context.archi2owl-plugin.jar' to the "plugins" directory in your Archi installation folder.

    Just select File -> Export -> TIMBUS Owl
