• Some people are also interest in "The Essential Project" = https://enterprise-architecture.org/
• Many of these (kinds of) tools have their particular focus, but most of them do support languages such as Archimate.
• Is there tension between upkeep of all these data in the EA tool and the need to keep/retain/harvest the kind of information held in a CMDB?
• For anybody here with a Gartner subscription, this from 22NOV2021: Jhawar, A., van der Heiden, G., & Hart, N. (2021) _Critical Capabilities for Enterprise Architecture Tools_, Gartner Research, Article ID #G00742564, available at https://www.gartner.com/document/4008588 (and some might also be interested in the "magic quadrant" based upon those critical-capabilities assessments: van der Heiden, G., Jhawar, A., & Hart, N.
