Abstract
Establishing and maintaining a coherent enterprise architecture is clearly a complex task, because it involves many different people with differing backgrounds using various notations. In order to get to grips with this complexity, researchers have initially focused on the definition of architectural frameworks for classifying and positioning the various architecture descriptions with respect to each other. A problem with looking at enterprise architecture through the lens of an architectural framework is that it categorises and divides architecture descriptions rather than providing insight into their coherence.
