Abstract
The Internet of Actors (IoA) provides a complete framework to attain interoperability by design in Subject-oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM). However, at present, some important architectural concerns remain out of focus. In this paper we lay the basis to ensure critical architectural qualities by adopting an Enterprise Architecture (EA) approach based on the Reference Model for Industry 4.0 (RAMI4.0) integrated with a goal oriented development methodology. This approach aims to facilitate the adoption of IoA in the workflow of regulated sectors like the Smart Grid, Industry 4.0 or e-Government, where other qualities must be ensured in addition to interoperability.

TOGAF\(\textregistered \) is The Open Group Architecture Framework is an open framework for the development of Enterprise Architectures https://www.opengroup.org/togaf.

See the two EU regulations, GDPR (EU) 2016/679, and eIDAS (EU) 910/2014 respectively.
- 3.
The perspective here is that of the S-BPM designers, which have little power on the actors’ design - we focus instead on the choreography of actors. This is reflected in structure of the RAMI 4.0-SA LC axis.

A measure is a technological, social and/or organizational solution that supports the attainment of the objective and reduce risk or counteract threats.

This scenario is defined by the IHE Mobile Access to Health Document scenario https://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Mobile_access_to_Health_Documents_(MHD) and it is loosely based on a previous similar work of the authors [11].

The use of IHE specifications to achieve interoperability is not new in the ecosystem of the IoA [2].
