Hi Michel, thanks for the information, that looks very interesting. Will you be hosting it on GitHub?

It would be better, though, to continue this discussion either on the Archi forum, or your own discussion space, as this is really for Archi issue/bug tracking.

So I'll close this issue and continue elsewhere...

Cheers, Phil

Hello Phil, We will host the source in GitHub and let you know the project as soon it is created. Regards, Michel

@micwic As said by Phil you should post this to the forum so that more people can react. In the meantime I have some remarks:

Code can be hosted under archi-contribs GitHub Organization for more visibility if you want.
Reading your doc, I'm not sure to understand what you call a data dictionnary as you don't seem to target documentation field of Business/Data Object while this is certainly the most straightforward approach.

@jbsarrodie seem to me that archi-contribs is managed by @Phillipus and @jbsarrodie. Can you create a repository so we can start working into.

Yes, what name for the repo would you like?

@jbsarrodie Reading your doc, I'm not sure to understand what you call a data dictionnary as you don't seem to target documentation field of Business/Data Object while this is certainly the most straightforward approach.

The structure of the data dictionary will not be managed easily in Business/Data Object documentation because the definitions will be scattered. The data definitions are not limited to Business/Data Object but also Data Flow or even Trigger (even Business/Data Object may be associated with). This the reason we implement an embedded graph database. That said, the relevant parts for the element will be also translated in a textual way in the properties of the element.
