To give an idea of the power you can get from this metamodel, here's an example query that could be used with it in your EA Tool: Select [Org.Unit] Where Role.Process.Event.(Type Like "Risk" And [Managing Process] Is Null) Within your model, this would give you a list of all of the people involved in processes that have a known risk that is not being formally controlled.
