What is It?

OmniGraffle Stencil for TRAK is a stencil for The OmniGroup's OmniGraffle drawing application that supports the open source TRAK architecture framework. The important ideas behind TRAK are provided in the defining documents and repeated on the overall trak project SourceForge site.

In brief it provides:-

• a stencil that is loaded into OmniGraffle
• a set of objects (node or block elements from the TRAK metamodel)
• a set of connector elements (relationship elements from the TRAK metamodel)
• a drawing version identification box to enable an OmniGraffle diagram to be 'stamped'

More detail is provided under 'Features'.

TRAK SV-13 Solution Risk View on an iPad (showing threats to a Nuclear Reactor) with TRAK Omnigraffle Stencil Visible

An example of a TRAK SV-13 Solution Risk architecture view is shown with the template provided as part of the MDG for TRAK (Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect UML modelling tool) implementation. It is viewable as a web page exported from Sparx Enterprise Architect which has the title 'SV-13 Risks Mitigated'.

The architecture viewpoints that specify the concerns addressed by each architecture view together and the allowed and minimum architecture view content are specified by the TRAK00001. TRAK Architecture Viewpoints specification and summarised on the SourceForge trakmetamodel project website..

Where Does this Fit In?

The OmniGraffle Stencil for TRAK is an implementation of TRAK (for The Omni Group's OmniGraffle drawing application).

TRAK is defined logically (free of implementation or solution) by 3 documents:

• TRAK00004. TRAK. Architecture Framework - an overall set of requirements (e.g. colour, conformance with TRAK, minimal process, Bye Laws etc)
• the architecture viewpoints that specify each architecture view (concerns addressed, allowed content, consistency rules) - TRAK00001 TRAK. Architecture Viewpoints
• the triples formed from node and connector elements - TRAK00002 TRAK. Metamodel - most of which are used in TRAK architecture views

TRAK00004. TRAK. Architecture Framework

Overall Structure - TRAK is Defined by 3 Specifications Across 3 Sourceforge Projects

TRAK00002. TRAK. Architecture Framework. Metamodel

TRAK Metamodel - General

Like the figures above, all of the figures within the TRAK specification documents are produced using OmniGraffle.

Implementations of TRAK

TRAK can be implemented in a wide range of modelling tools and architecture description languages (a term taken from ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 Systems & Software - Architecture Description) such as the UML, BPMN etc can be used to represent triples from the TRAK metamodel and therefore can be used in creating TRAK architecture views.

The known implementations of TRAK are listed separately.

What Files Are Needed?

OmniGraffle Stencil for TRAK consists of 1 component files:-

• TRAK.gstencil. This contains the drawing objects.

Platforms Supported

OmniGraffle is a Mac and iPad application and runs on OS X/iOS respectively

The stencil is not an executable file.

Download

The files can be downloaded from the Project Summary Page on SourceForge.
