The Enterprise Architectures

A lack of demonstrable integration across various architecture classes is addressed by this book. It is common for different teams to be assembled across the enterprise to “do their thing.” One group does the enterprise’s architecture while another group does data architectures, and some third group does Business Information Systems plans.

The result is often three large piles of paper, and in the case of data models, really neat looking diagrams. Sometimes, Picasso comes to mind as the artist. Then, everybody sits back and waits for the magic caterpillars to butterfly transformations to occur. Nothing seems to happen.

This book shows that not only can Spring happen, but also that these three architectures plus two more are part of a larger collection that together are tightly coupled, interdependent, integrated, and non-redundant.

The other two necessary architectures are Database Object Classes, and Resource Life Cycle Analysis.

This book defines all five architectures, sets them within a Knowledge Worker Framework and shows how all five tightly coupled, interdependent, integrated, and non-redundant. The book also defines the Metabase which is a CASE/Repository product into which all the architectures are stored and employed.
