Frameworks for Building Enterprise Information Architectures
Abstract
Large enterprises are complex entities operating in a fast-moving environment facing increasing demands for even higher values. To ensure that a firm’s IT structure and knowledge base is effectively managed, it has already been recognised that enterprises need to develop and maintain appropriate Enterprise Information Architectures. With this in mind, this paper provides a review of a number of enterprise architecture frameworks and other initiatives including Zachman Framework, RM-ODP, TOGAF and C4ISR/DoDAF. Their merits are discussed and relevant comparisons are made. The aim is to produce a comparison and provide some useful background information for large enterprises, who are in the process of assessing the feasibility of developing enterprise-wide IT and information architectures.
