ArchiMate (since v2) has had a "Stakeholder" object. The definition is:
A stakeholder is the role of an individual, team, or organization (or classes thereof) that represents their interests in the outcome of the architecture.
In its own words, ArchiMate seems to be defining a relationship between the Actor (individual, team, organisation) and the item they are interested in.
Consequently, I'm interested in what others think of dropping the Stakeholder item and creating, instead, a 'stakeholding' relationship.
There are a number of interesting upsides from this mechanism - such as adding various properties to the relationship.
Thoughts?
TIA,
Paolo
