I used this presentation as an additional source to study for my ArchiMate 2 exams. In the end I passed both y Level I and Level II exams. This might help you as well.

2. Archimate
“An Open Group Standard”

• Modeling Language for Enterprise
Architecture
– Open
– Independent
– Common
• A notation for describing, analyzing
and visualizing relationships
amongst business domains

3. Enterprise, Architecture and EA
• Enterprise

Layers with Elements categorized in
Three Element Types
– Core Language Layers
• Business
• Application
• Technology
– Element Types
• Active Structure
– Subject
• Behavioral
– Verb

10. ArchiMate Core
“Element Types”
• Active Structure Element
– an Entity that is capable of Performing Behavior
• Behavior Element
– a Unit of Activity Performed by one or more Active Structure Elements.
• Passive Structure Element
– an Object on which Behavior is Performed.
