Enterprise Architecture Frameworks
Top > Transversal > People and Process > Enterprise Architecture Frameworks
- Archimate - An enterprise architecture modelling language to support the description, analysis and visualisation of architecture within and across business domains. The technical standard is maintained by The Open Group. From a notation perspective, it is a competitor to both UML and BPMN; it differentiates itself by offering a much smaller set of pictorial conventions. 🌐
- DoDAF - The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is an architecture framework for the United States Department of Defense (DoD). It is especially suited to large systems with complex integration and interoperability challenges, and it is apparently unique in its employment of "operational views". These views offer overview and details aimed to specific stakeholders within their domain and in interaction with other domains in which the system will operate. 🌐
- TOGAF - The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is one of the most used frameworks for enterprise architecture. It conceptualises enterprise architecture at four levels: Business, Application, Data, and Technology. 🌐
- Zachman - The Zachman Framework is an enterprise ontology and provides a formal and structured way of viewing and defining an enterprise. The ontology is a two dimensional classification schema that reflects the intersection between an axis containing the primitive interrogatives: What, How, When, Who, Where, and Why and another axis derived from the philosophical concept of reification, the transformation of an abstract idea into an instantiation. 🌐
