Summary

A «refine» Dependency must be between either:

  1. A ModelElement and a Requirement

  2. A BusinessRule, an Activity or an Operation and a BusinessRule.

  3. A ModelElement and an Archimate element.

Details

A «refine» Dependency describes how a ModelElement can be used to further refine a Requirement or a BusinessRule. For example, a UseCase or Activity diagram may be used to refine a text-based functional Requirement.

Tips

If you have a «refine» Dependency which is not between two compatible elements, you should delete it.
