Open Infrastructure Architecture method
The Open Infrastructure Architecture method, or OIAm, is an open standard for the application of architecture to infrastructure.
OIAm and the community
[edit]The development of the method has from its early inception been published on the Internet under a Creative Commons license, using a Semantic MediaWiki based wiki for publication of standard content - originally the "DYA|Infrastructure Repository" (DIR),[1] currently the "Open Infrastructure Architecture repository" (OIAr).[2] As a result of this, a community evolved consisting of architects and other people working with, or being interested in, the method. This community mainly revolves around the aforementioned OIAr, a LinkedIn group named Open Infrastructure Architecture, and a semi-annual community meeting.
Modelling infrastructure under OIAm
[edit]Modelling infrastructure is done under OIAm using
- The ArchiMate architecture modelling language;
- A generic vocabulary, published under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license in a wiki designated the OIAr (Open Infrastructure Architecture repository), based on Semantic MediaWiki;
- A workflow inspired by the work by Gerrit Blaauw[3]
