Q

Which of the following is an Application Layer element that specializes a component by aggregating two or more co-operating application internal active structure elements to perform collective behavior?
* Application interface
* Application component
* Application collaboration
* Application function

A

Application collaboration
This is a bad question because application collaboration does not specialize a component. It specializes an “application internal active structure element, and aggregates two or more (cooperating) application components.”

* Business process
* Business interaction

A

Business function

62

* Resource
* Course of action
* Capability

A

Resource
It is the only structure component in Strategy. Capability and Course of action are behaviors.

* Constraint
* Requirement
* Goal
* Driver

A

An external behavior element

66
Q

Which of the following is a collection of concepts?

Model

67
Q

In the Application Layer metamodel, what direct relationship is defined between an application component and an application event?
* Aggregation
* Realization
* Assignment
* Access

* Aspects and layers
* Deciding and designing
* Purpose and content
* Metamodel and concerns

A

Purpose and content.
Deciding and designing are flat wrong. Concerns is right, but metamodel is wrong. Aspects and layers is almost right since it says that Viewpoints are a means to focus on aspects and layers. But the viewpoint mechanism is based on purpose and content.

69
Q

Why are the ArchiMate language concepts separate from their notation?

A

Different stakeholders may need different notations.

70
Q

Which of the following is used to directly link the Application Layer to the Technology Layer?
