Validate Architecture Model

Run the validation script and interpret results for the user.

Workflow

  1. Run: 
    python scripts/validate.py
  2. Parse the output
  3. Summarize for the user:
    • Total elements in registry
    • Validation errors (elements in diagrams but not registered)
    • Orphan elements (registered but not in any diagram)
    • Domain maturity scores

Response Format

**Validation Results**

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Registry entries | X |
| Validation errors | X |
| Orphan elements | X |

**Errors (if any):**
[List each error with file location]

**Orphans by layer:**
[Group orphans by ArchiMate layer]

**Recommendations:**
[Suggest fixes for errors, note that orphans are expected for incomplete models]

Notes

  • Orphan elements are normal for incomplete models - don't alarm the user
  • Validation errors are more serious - these indicate diagrams reference unregistered elements
  • If user asks for JSON output, run: 
    python scripts/validate.py --format json
