Metis LEARN! – Leveraging Enterprise Architecture Repository iNvestments
Einar Dehli, Henrik Smith-Meyer, Frank Lillehagen · 2026
Metis ® LEARN!™ is an operational approach to continuous organizational learning in IT architecture and software design. Employing state-of-the-art model visualization and navigation techniques in conjunction with distributed XML repository technologies, LEARN! lets organizations establish an enterprisewide knowledge management repository for maintaining, indexing, and reusing enterprise architecture primitives and granular design elements for all its IT projects and solutions, in an integrated EA modelling environment. Reusable EA primitives can easily be searched, selected and exported to any of the interfaced design tools. Similarly, extracts of design artefacts created by individual projects and tools throughout the enterprise can easily be imported and made available for inspection by other architects and designers as granular design elements in the common visual repository environment. Hyperlinks to design artefacts in their native format may also be included. LEARN! is a pragmatic first step towards tomorrow’s vision of the fully visually integrated enterprise founded on Active Knowledge Modelling (AKM)™ technologies.
