| Criterion |  Knowledge Modeling Linked Open Terms |  Architecture SAAM (Software Architecture Analysis Method) |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | Linked Open Terms connects terminology work with linked-data thinking and makes terminology technically connectable. Vocabulary, meanings, and references can thereby be maintained consistently. | SAAM helps teams judge an architecture’s suitability for selected tasks and changes. It is particularly useful for examining modifiability and comparing architecture alternatives with clear reasoning. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | Wochen bis Monate | Preparation, scenario analysis, and findings review; effort depends on scope |
Participantsdifferent | 2-8 | Architecture experts and stakeholders for scenarios and weighting |
Formatsame | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Ontology Requirements, Conceptual Model, Published Ontology, Documentation, Maintenance Plan | Domain functions mapped to components and connections, Quality attributes and evaluation criteria, Typical tasks and their effects on the architecture, Reasoned evaluation or comparison of alternatives |
