Tailoring Enterprise Architecture Frameworks: Resource Structuring for Service-oriented Enterprises

摘要

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a discipline concerned primarily with enterprise Business-IT alignment. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is one of the leading EA frameworks that describes methodology to carry out architecture work. TOGAF prescribes tailoring of the architecture frameworks for enterprise architecture initiatives. However, there are no real-world examples of how these frameworks would look like, nor there exist a clear process describing how to construct such frameworks. In this paper, we show how to tailor an enterprise architecture framework for service-oriented enterprises.
