This plugin allows IT architects working in Archi® and using the Cartography Tool plugin to export their solution building blocks according to the ADMS-AP open specification.

IT solutions, which are described using this open specification can be imported to the European Commission's Joinup.eu platform, which catalogues thousands of reusable software solutions, open specifications and services relevant for the public sector. Besides Joinup, there a a number of additional international and national repositories which currently support the ADMS.AP open specification.

More about the European Interoperability Architecture: to attain interoperability, public administrations in Europe need to coordinate across borders and sectors when developing digital solutions. The ISA Programme introduced a reference architecture to guide public administrations in their work to provide better interoperability between European public services, businesses and citizens. This reference architecture is the European Interoperability Reference Architecture (EIRA).

More about the Cartography tool plugin for Archi: the Commisison has also developed the Cartography Tool, which 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 features to query an EIRA-based Cartography of solutions.
