ArchiMate Information Structure Viewpoint
The Information Structure Viewpoint shows:
The structure of the information used in the enterprise or in a specific business process or application, in terms of high-level data types, which can decomposed into entities (used in logical data models) or classes (used in UML Class diagrams).
How information at the business level is used at the application level, and how those are then mapped onto the underlying technology infrastructure (by means of a database schema).
The ArchiMate elements that can be drawn on this diagram are:
Business object
Representation
