Introduction

Farkitect is a general-purpose modeling application for formal graph-style modeling of complex systems.

What is Farkitect?

Farkitect is built on the OMG MetaObject Facility (MOF) — the industry standard for metamodeling. This foundation gives you:

• Four-layer metamodel architecture (M0–M3) for models, metamodels, and meta-metamodels
• Notation-agnostic foundation supporting multiple notations (UML, ArchiMate, BPMN, custom)
• Formal semantics for model consistency and validation
• Extensibility through user-defined metamodels and notations

Use Cases

• Enterprise Architecture (TOGAF, ArchiMate, Zachman)
• Software Architecture and System Design
• Business Process Modeling
• Any domain requiring formal notation-based modeling

Design Principles

1. Notation Independence — Core modeling engine is separate from visual rendering
2. Metamodel-Driven — All constructs derive from metamodel definitions
3. Graph-Native — Models are fundamentally graph structures (nodes and edges)
4. Collaborative — Built for multi-user modeling scenarios
5. Extensible — Support for custom metamodels and notations
