Enterprise Architecture Framework

An Enterprise Architecture Framework (or Architecture Framework for short) defines how to organize the structure and views associated with an Enterprise Architecture. Because the discipline of Enterprise Architecture is so broad, and because the enterprises it describes tend to be large and complex, the models associated with the discipline also tend to be large and complex. To manage this scale and complexity, an Architecture Framework defines complementary projections of the enterprise model called Views, where each View is meaningful to different system stakeholders.
