Keypoint

Adopt this component by...

Methods, Artefacts, Guidance, Items and Culture (MAGIC) is a Structural Ontology

Enterprise Architect: Think about Structural information in terms of Methods, Artefacts, Guidance, Items and Culture (MAGIC).

What high level ontology do you use for describing information relating to the structure of things?

Does it cover everything MAGIC does?

If not, does that cause any problems?
