To anyone who has experience with Arc24; How does this compare to the MBSE/SysML framework from OMG? https://www.omgsysml.org/what-is-sysml.htm
arc42 proposes ONLY a high-level documentation/communicatin structure, and is notation agnostic: I've often used it with UML, and with informal box-and-lines diagrams.
I would say arc42 is quite recognized documentation framework among software architects in Germany. My team is working with one major German automotive group and we/they are using slightly modified arc42 to document architectural parts + requirements for one of their core sw platforms. Also as far as I’m aware arc42 is a part of training courses for iSAQ certification for sw architects.
(I'm the author of arc42, so I'm biased).
This isn’t really new. Architecture Definition Documents like this have been around for a long time. All the same, it’s great to see the approach being promoted because there’s a very real need for ADD’s to exist.
arc42 has been used in practice since 2004. The newest version 8.0 has been released Febr. 2022.
We incorporated user feedback (plus our own experience in real-time, embedded, data warehouse and e-commerce systems)..

If you're reading German, there's also a book on arc42 by the same author (Gernot Starke), "arc42 in Aktion".
