Example 1: ArchiMate relationship in PlantUML code to demonstrate 15 relationship types

 Following section presents 15 types of relationships in ArchiMate and PlantUML to generate the diagram. Since this code is generated by GEN-AI it may require precision on aspects other than PlantUML syntax:

Plant UML Code: 

@startuml

'!includeurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plantuml-stdlib/Archimate-PlantUML/master/Archimate.puml

' Another way of including Archimate Library (above is commented for following)

!include <archimate/Archimate>

!theme archimate-standard from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plantuml-stdlib/Archimate-PlantUML/master/themes
