An enterprise architecture framework (EA framework) defines how to create and use an enterprise architecture. An architecture framework provides principles and practices for creating and using the architecture description of a system. It structures architects' thinking by dividing the architecture description into domains, layers or views, and offers models - typically matrices and diagrams - for documenting each view. == Overview == Enterprise architecture regards the enterprise as a large and complex system or system of systems.〔The Open Group (2008) ''TOGAF Version 9''. Van Haren Publishing, 1 nov. 2008.p. 73〕 To manage the scale and complexity of this system, an architectural framework provides tools and approaches that help architects abstract from the level of detail that builders work at to bring enterprise design tasks into focus and produce valuable architecture description documentation. The components of an architecture framework provide structured guidance that is divided into three main areas:〔Stephen Marley (2003). (Architectural Framework ). NASA /SCI. At Webarchive.org, retrieved 3-04-2015.〕 * Descriptions of architecture: how to document the enterprise as a system from several viewpoints. Each view describes one slice of the architecture; it includes those entities and relationships that address particular concerns of interest to particular stakeholders; it may take the form of a list, a table, a diagram, or a higher level of composite of such. * Methods for designing architecture: processes that architects follow. Usually, an overarching enterprise architecture process, composed of phases, breaks into lower-level processes composed of finer grained activities. A process is defined by its objectives, inputs, phases (steps or activities) and outputs. It may be supported by approaches, techniques, tools, principles, rules, and practices. * Organization of architects: guidance on the team structure, the governance of the team, the skills, experience and training needed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enterprise architecture framework」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
