Mapping of CSDM and ArchiMate

Found ArchiMate mentioned only in a few posts so creating this new one. 
Does anyone know if there's been any mapping done between CSDM and ArchiMate where I guess the "external behavior elements (also called services)" would be a main common reference point. 
Maybe @Mark Bodman🙂 
I think it would be useful in explaining CSDM to Enterprise Architects, that might not be that interested in a data model from a specific vendor.

Hello Michael,

 

Yes. I did record a brief mapping between CSDM and Archimate last year, which was recorded here. I didn't spend too much time exploring all aspects, but provided enough context so folks familiar with both CSDM and Archimate can see the correlation, and understand some of the differences between the frameworks. 

 

Would be great to get your perspective on this, and see if what's mapped out resonates. 

 

Thanks a lot Mark. 👍 I will test it with some EAs and see if it makes it easier for them to understand. But as you say in the video, there's not a one-to-one mapping where CSDM is a Data model for the NOW platform and ArchiMate consist of so many more different Elements

Can say that the video did resonate with the EA I'm in contact with. 🙂
He/we would like to use the mapping as a base for further work. Are you willing to share the PPT used?
