Generic Service

Every organization will have its own Service Landscape. Because of the fact that services are external behaviour (according to ArchiMate), OIAm advises to select names that are recognizable within the organization and link those services to Aggregating Functions. Aggregation Functions (based on Generic Patterns) are given names that are formal and match with the typical names of the Generic Patterns they are derived of. However, to make the service clear, an example of a Service Landscape is given below:
