A Generic Pattern is a set of Generic Functions that define the possible behaviour of (part of) an infrastructure Product/Solution. A Generic Pattern describes an archetypical architecture of a solution, being technology and implementation and organization agnostic. One ore more Generic Patterns serve as archetypes for the modelling of a Applied Pattern, that outlines a solution at the Functional Design level. It houses the general description of the intended functionality of the Applied Patterns based upon it. The full set of Generic Patterns form the universal and basic structure of all Infrastructure Landscapes. A clickable map of the Generic Patterns that together form the archetype of the Infrastructure Landscape is depicted below:
