General information
Name of the solution:
Solution's owner: European Commission (DG informatics) - ISA² Programme
The Cartography Tool (CarTool©) brings together high-level support for the EIRA© as a plug-in for the popular ArchiMate® modelling tool Archi®. It includes both editing features, to model solutions using the EIRA©, and querying functionalities to query an EIRA©-based Cartography of solutions. CAMSS Team.
The Cartography Tool implements the following:
Principles
Interoperability layers
Conceptual model
Cartography Tool implements the following EIF recommendations as explained below:
-
Recommendation 6 | Reusability
The CarTool can be used to support the development of ICT solutions as it allows its users to browse and analyse the already existing reusable solutions.
-
Recommendation 8 | Technological neutrality and data portability
The CarTool does not impost the use of any specific technology and the 'Create a solution' function is fully based on open standards.
-
Recommendation 19 | Assessment of effectiveness and efficiency
CarTool gives users access to existing EIRA and SAT solutions, allowing users to assess and compare them before selecting one.
-
Recommendation 23 | Interoperability governance
CarTool aids its users in the selection process of standards by giving them access to the list of proposed interoperability standards and specifications.
-
Recommendation 27 | Legal interoperability
CarTool supports its users in the assessment of ICT implications in new legislation by to assess ICT by allowing them to search related solutions in the solutions’ Cartography.
-
Recommendation 34 | Model
CarTool allows its users to model solutions using EIRA, and querying features to query an EIRA-based Cartography of solutions. The use of CarTool helps its users to implement the EIF conceptual model.
-
Recommendation 44 | Catalogues
CarTool allows its users to model solutions using EIRA, and querying features to query an EIRA-based Cartography of solutions. The use of CarTool helps its users to implement the EIF conceptual model.
