HI all,

one addition from my side. I agree with the proposals, but have the additional proposal, to use 'ARIS Method' instead of 'Modelling Language'. In my future posts I will care for this rules because they seem to be meaningful and it should make our contributions better understandable.

Regards
Uwe

Yes, indeed. ARIS Modelling Method sounds artificial too, so it is fair to just say ARIS Method!

Good Morning

We understand the symbolic meaning of most of the cases when we are diagramming,

however (and that is the reason of this mail), we have issues about:

“Database Pattern” & “Document Pattern”

Our particular questions is: When we have a virtual document (it includes Ms Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat, Project, etc)

Which pattern(s) should we use to diagram this situation??

Alternative 1

Writing the name of the document (Timescale) inside Database Pattern
Using Computer System pattern (MS Project)

Alternative 2

Writing the name of the document and its file extension (Timescale.mpp) inside Database Pattern

Alternative 3

Writing the name of the document (Timescale) inside Document Pattern
Using Computer System pattern (MS Project)

Please, Which is the correct alternative?

Hi,

unfortunately your images are lost, but I still hope to answer your question.

First of all, if you are talking about a document, I suggest using the "document" pattern. If it is important where this document is stored, you can also use the "IT System" pattern in addition. I would not use the database pattern in your case.
