I have received the authorization from my clients to publish it in order to:
Encourage the modeling practice and reuse among public libraries
Share with the Archimate community as an example
The model reuse is subject to the following restriction:
YOU SHALL NOT MARKET, SELL OR RESELL THE DIGB-SA ARCHIMATE MODEL
This model is published for reuse by public libraries. It can’t be marketed, sold or resold.
This model has been developed by Jean-François Declercq in the context of the DIGITAL LIBRARY SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE study by ordered by: - Bibnet vzw - Vereniging van de Vlaamse Provincies - Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie van het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest
The reports of the study on the current and future system architecture of the digital library have been recently published.
The term “digital library” is here used as a collective name for all of a library’s products, processes and services that are digital and/or automated.
The study summary lists the future work zones for the Flemish Public libraries:
Business intelligence (BI)
IT maturity
Web presentation
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Digital Collections
Collection Management and cataloguing
Architecture consolidation (SOA)
The summary is available in French, Dutch and English:
Current system architecture of Flemish public libraries (AS-IS)
Evolution of the Flemish public libraries’ System architecture (change requirements)
The Future system architecture of Flemish public libraries (TO-BE)
The future system architecture is in fact a generic future-proof ICT blueprint for a public library. The blueprint is a set of business services, business processes, Applications, SOA Services and technological elements documented in the Archimate notation.

I also would like to thank the steering commitee (Bart Beuten, Jan Braekman, Patrick Vanhoucke ,Stefaan Froyman), all the workshop and participants. Their input has been key. I would like also to thank Alexandre Lemaire who helped me to compare the Flemish situation with the situation of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.
