18th June release of the TRAK00001 Architecture Viewpoints spec. that defines architecture view and unambiguously specifies allowed view content. https://sourceforge.net/projects/trakviewpoints/files/TRAK_ArchitectureViewpoints.pdf. Also represented in HTML at https://trakviewpoints.sourceforge.io/viewpoint_concerns.html.

TRAK seems to be the only architecture framework that actually specifies architecture view content. It does this using explicit triples.

Not only is every TRAK architecture view verifiable against each architecture viewpoint content requirements but it means that the metamodel coverage / architecture view overlap can be assessed using simple graph queries. Easy to assess graph representations of TRAK architecture views using SHACL.

New "Turtle all the way down" version of the TRAK architecture framework. Provides semantically accurate description of conformance claim. Also means to describe a fault tree. More than a little added Turtle/RDF examples of TRAK architecture views.

TRAK SVp-11 Solution Event Causes Architecture Viewpoint (Version 5)

@trak_af @neo4j The graphic is a Model Change & Configuration architecture view produced against its defining architecture viewpoint[1].

The architecture view describes the changes, additions made in the 9th January 2025 release of the TRAK. Viewpoints specification in the context of the previous 40 releases since the original release in 2010. https://tinyurl.com/35v3hete https://tinyurl.com/trakviewpoints-html https://tinyurl.com/trakmetamodel-html #neo4j #opensource #architectureframework #trak #mbse

This version of the metamodel adds definitions of enumerated values for metamodel element properties and links them to trusted vocabularies or sources (so that the graph of TRAK can then produce a richer ontology description using RDF(S) + OWL in linked to these vocabularies).
