Enterprise Architecture Practice 7 - How to do EA Impact Analysis in Casewise 4

- Does Object Type Chain exist in Casewise?
An Source Object Type could be associated with a Target Object Type (if the target Object Type is same as the Source Object Type, then becomes a self-reference association) through an Association Type.
The Association Type could be Source to Target, Target to Source or both of Source to Target and Target to Source. It could be expressed as Swim Lane or Object Type Connector.
For instance, based on Casewise out of the box multiple one layer bi-dimensional Reporting Mechanism, if Object Type OT_1 has an association with Object Type OT_2 through Association Type AT_1, Object Type OT_2 has an association with Object Type OT_3 through Association Type AT_2, and then definitely there will be a Object Type Chain (an Mathematics Model) exists as always. In this case, the Object Type Chains from OT_1 to OT_3 will be:
Source to Target mode: OT_1 -> OT_2 -> OT_3
Target to Source mode: OT_3 -> OT->2 -> OT_1
Actually this kind of Mathematics Model could calculate out all of possible Object Type Chains based on a Source Object Type (with or without a Target Object Type will be a option) precisely.
