Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth
An Application Component is an active structure that represents software components performing behavior. Its passive counterpart is the Data Object, which represents structured information used or produced by applications.
Since Data Objects do not perform actions themselves but store, structure, or represent data, they are the correct counterpart to Application Components in the Application Layer.
This is clearly outlined in the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification, which states that Application Components act upon Data Objects.
