Farkitect
🤷

Forgive us! These docs are a work in progress. Some pages may be incomplete or describe features that aren't quite finished yet. Farkitect is in early development and we don't recommend using it for real work just yet. Feel free to explore — just be aware that things are still being built.

How to browse and import from the Farketplace

The Farketplace is Farkitect’s library of reusable starter assets. It contains ready-made metamodels, sample models, and complete project templates that you can import to get started quickly. You don’t need to sign in to browse it.

Browse the Farketplace

Section titled “Browse the Farketplace”
  1. Visit the Farketplace at farkitect.com/farketplace
  2. The home page shows a rotating carousel of featured assets with their cover images
  3. Browse the full grid, or use the search box to filter by name
  4. Each asset card shows its cover image, title, a short description, type and scope badges, and counts of packages, elements, and diagrams

View an asset’s details

Section titled “View an asset’s details”

Click any asset card to open its detail page. There you’ll find the full description, a breakdown of the packages it contains, and its summary statistics. From the detail page you can:

  • Download the .farki file to your computer, or
  • Create a project from it directly (if you’re signed in)

You can also import a downloaded file into Farkitect later using File > Import Package… or by creating a project from a file.

Create a project from a Farketplace asset

Section titled “Create a project from a Farketplace asset”

The fastest way to get started:

  1. In the modeller, click File > New Project…
  2. Select the From Asset tab
  3. Browse or search the available assets
  4. Click an asset to select it — the name, description, and a content preview appear
  5. Click Create Project

This creates a new project with all the asset’s packages pre-loaded — metamodels, sample models, diagrams, and all.

What’s in the Farketplace

Section titled “What’s in the Farketplace”

Assets typically include:

  • M2 metamodel packages — a modeling language (ArchiMate, UML, C4, Logical Data Model, Business Model Canvas, etc.) with element types, relationships, notation, and constraints
  • M1 sample models — example content built using the metamodel, often based on the Farquind Yachts case study
  • Diagrams and catalogs — pre-built views showing the sample model in action

Each asset has a type — Project (a complete project) or Package (packages to add to an existing project) — and a scope that controls who can see it.

Publish your own assets

Section titled “Publish your own assets”

Anything you build can become a reusable asset, and you can share it with your organisation or publish it to the Farketplace for everyone. See Manage your assets and Publish an asset.
