ArchiMate 3.2

AI-BOK Reference Architecture

The complete AI-BOK framework as a navigable ArchiMate model

How do you make a 200+ page book truly usable for enterprise architects? By converting it into a reference architecture in ArchiMate. This model unlocks the complete AI-BOK framework — not as a PDF gathering dust, but as a living architecture model you can search, filter, and use as a starting point for your own AI architecture.

02

Control Plane

Where governance is enforced. Identity & access management, policy engines, audit trails, model registries and monitoring.

03

Data Plane

Where knowledge and data are managed. Vector databases, knowledge graphs, feature stores and document storage.
