A reference architecture is an abstract architecture in which a number of generic frameworks or building blocks are described. Organization-specific (domain and solution) architectures are drawn up based on reference architectures.

Statement An architectural building block is the logical definition of a functionality Description The abbreviation ABB is used for an architectural building block. An architecture building block describes the functionalities that are offered to a higher-level entity. An ABB describes WHAT is needed, without writing to a specific solution. The higher-level entity can be a service or a composite ABB. An ABB can be composed of one or more SBB. These SBB are the implementation of the functionality. In other words, the SBB realizes the ABB. Features

• Description of a functionality
• Description of the behavior of information provision elements without features of physical implementation
• ABB is logical, without technical specification or brand names
• Infrastructural and application layers are the most important application area in the current phase of this model.
• Architecture building blocks are related to qualities, constraints and principles.
• This is the framework within which, for example, a product manager can select a product.
• When a product is at the end of the LCM, the frameworks in the ABB can be be used again to select a new product.
• The basic principle is to prevent an ABB from being written to an available solution. This should therefore be solution and technology neutral.

The core of the TOGAF framework. A multi-phase, iterative approach to develop and use an Enterprise Architecture to shape and govern business transformation and implementation projects.

The architectural area being considered. The TOGAF framework has four primary architecture domains: business, data, application, and technology. Other domains may also be considered (e.g., security).

A conceptual structure used to plan, develop, implement, govern, and sustain an architecture.

The Architecture metamodel describes the organization-tailored application of an architecture framework, including a metamodel for architecture content and language.

The Architecture Repository is a software tool that stores key architectural inputs and outputs, including Architectures themselves, their constituent elements, standards, references, principles and the Governance Register. Regardless of the Architecture Framework or Architecture Language selected. An enterprise architecture repository is therefore a collection of artifacts that describes the current and intended enterprise landscape of an organization. The purpose of the enterprise architecture repository is to represent the organization's inventory of technology, data, applications, and business artifacts and to show the relationships among these components. This is achieved by creating diagrams and visualizations based on the contents of the architecture repository.

Regularly carrying out a maturity scan and analyzing the results to determine a roadmap and adjust the goals and frameworks within data governance. For example, with the maturity scan from DaMa(NL).

Description of the data management and governance organization, including the processes, roles and events known within it. Often based on an existing framework.

Data or information management principles set frameworks for change in the organization, often within projects within the data roadmap. Elaborated in the selection of existing standards such as DMBoK, ArchiMate. The frameworks are developed on the basis of principles based on the principles within the enterprise architecture.

Data quality dimension in accordance with the DMBoK framework.

There are several modeling languages and frameworks available for setting up an enterprise. Think of Archimate, Togaf, UML and BPMN. The search is often for a subset of these languages. To this end, a weighed choice must be made.

If architectures are implemented in custom solutions, the developers of these custom solutions will, on the one hand, provide frameworks and guidelines for the architecture and, on the other hand, they will be consumers of the architecture artifacts and implement them in functioning solutions.

Highly abstract description of the entire organization from an architectural perspective. Often based on an existing framework.

This is the established architecture of organization. It often includes the elaboration of the baseline architecture and sometimes also of the target architecture. It is important that the classification should be based on a consultation function. Architects use this as a register of the architecture for requirements inventories, but also for consulting the architectural landscapes and the frameworks within the architecture.

A structure for content or process that can be used as a tool to structure thinking, ensuring consistency and completeness.

Developing and managing a framework and guidelines register, such as a list of data principles, standards and possibly data requirements related to the enterprise principles.

Data and information are handled with care, taking into account the applicable values, standards and laws and regulations - Rationale XXX is at the heart of society. The stakeholders expect XXX to comply with all relevant regulations and handle all data and information from all involved with care. Careful use of this can positively influence the image of XXX. - Implication XXX has laid down the rules for handling data and information in the XXX code of conduct for all employees. Relevant legislation and regulations (including those regarding privacy and competition) are identified and included in XXX standards frameworks and policies.

I regard legislators and compliance institutions as invisible stakeholders. However, they set frameworks for the architectures within the organization. This makes them highly relevant stakeholders. Consider, for example, the GDPR.

Management indicates what the goals and drivers are of the organization. The frameworks for architecture arise from this. In addition, management determines the order of the architectural work to be carried out.

Description of the architecture of the IT management organization, including the processes, roles and events known within it. Often based on an existing framework.

From an architectural perspective, management organization is important for providing frameworks and guidelines regarding the management of the various artifacts and described in the various architectures.

A metamodel is important for an architecture in general and essential for an architecture in a repository. Because the metamodel forms the framework for the architecture, it must be developed and maintained in a work process.

In addition to the use of a modeling language, additional requirements and definitions are drawn up around the Architecture models and products. They are frameworks for architects who develop different types of architectures.

This is an example of modeling and naming conventions that can be used within an architecture repository. This elaboration is an example of how to develop a metamodel and its conventions. In this case for a data architecture development. The metamodel has been developed based on the DMBoK framework. This means that part of the framework has been developed and the others have not yet. Here, particularly from the point of view of the data architect, is an elaboration of modeling conventions and architectural models. Working with meta data requires a white paper on metadata modeling methods.

The object model describes the building block concept as defined within the architectural process. Building blocks are communicative concepts between architects themselves and between architecture and the various stakeholders such as developers and administrators. In addition, also internal services and possibly external stakeholders such as suppliers or chain partners. The model consists of a limited set of concepts with mutual relationships. This model has been developed into an ArchiMate business object diagram. The concepts in the objects and definition diagram are then worked out in detail and thus describe the frameworks of the building blocks.

Description of the structure of the organization based on business roles and/or actors. Often based on an existing enterprise architecture framework.

All data and information has an owner. - Rationale Structured and explicit ownership is necessary to be able to make decisions about the use and management of data and information and to set priorities. - Implication XXX-wide frameworks (policies, guidelines and standards) are necessary to deal adequately with data and information. A division of the XXX data and information landscape with recognizable boundaries is necessary to clearly organize ownership and responsibilities for data and information. Be clear about the roles (owner, user, editor) and associated tasks and authorities. Taking ownership and accepting someone else.

The framework-setting architecture is of great importance for steering the change in an organization to transform from the baseline architecture to the target architecture. Setting frameworks is often developed on the basis of architectural principles or nowadays also called binding architecture agreements. You can also find the description of the viewpoints because they can also be considered as setting the framework.

An abstract framework for understanding significant relationships among the entities of [an] environment, and for the development of consistent standards or specifications supporting that environment.

Data and information has an appropriate level of security - Rationale Adequate security of data and information prevents unauthorized use, supports the integrity of XXX and guarantees the continuity of business processes and services. - Implication Complying with the XXX policy on the security of data and information. This consists of a framework for Information Security, a risk-driven approach and a classification system to determine the desired level of security, and sets of measures appropriate to the importance (for XXX and for individuals) of the data and information.

The Standards Information Base (SIB) establishes the standards that new architectures must meet, which may include generic architectural languages and frameworks, industry standards, selected vendor products and services, or shared services already implemented within the organization.

A summary formal description of the enterprise, providing an organizing framework for operational and change activity, and an executive-level, long-term view for direction setting.

Data and information may be shared within legal and policy frameworks - Rationale Sharing unless, both internally and externally. XXX is at the center of society. The external stakeholders expect transparency and openness and internal transparency contributes to improving services. - Implication The confidentiality classification determines with whom and how information may be shared with others. The person who edits the information is responsible for complying with the policy on handling the information.

Architecture contributes to a more agile and cost-conscious IT. Frameworks are established by the domain architects and passed on to the teams. Solutions are determined in collaboration with the teams...

Verschillende soorten architectuur repositories op basis van het Interactory Framework

This overview contains an extensive list of possible (partial) modeling languages. Use multiple languages sparingly. Some of ArchiMate is probably necessary. See also the examples in the documentation of modeling languages via the websites that exist around these modeling languages. The Model Wizard within EA is also suitable for further explanation. This is not an exhaustive list and may be developed differently in the context of specific organizations. This diagram provides a detailed description of the most important sub-models and diagram types to provide an idea of the scope and level of detail within the modeling languages.

This SIPOC framework is a grouping of the elements belonging to different aspects of the SIPOC framework.
