Abstract

Within the field of Enterprise Modeling, substantial work has been spent on defining frameworks and architectures. In comparison to EM methods (see Chap. 13), frameworks and architectures do not focus on procedures for the actual modeling process, notations, or modeling languages, but they address the modeling domain or the results of the modeling process. The frameworks and reference architectures introduced in this chapter are Zachman’s Framework, GERAM, and TOGAF.
