Glossary
In this glossary, you will find a set of terms we have defined and reused extensively in our white papers. We have tried to use as few terms as possible. When several terms relate to the same concept, we define only one term and add the others as synonyms.
- Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture-Description represents the Structure of the Enterprise Model
It generally is represented by Maps. which offer a Global View to better understand EA: Process Maps, Entity Maps, Function Maps, Solution Maps, Application Maps and Block Maps are the most commonly used. The most important is the Entity Map. CEISAR represents the Enterprise Architecture-Description according to a cube of 3 dimensions (see below):
- Complexity: isolates Enterprise Real World from Enterprise Model.
- Agility: isolates Enterprise Operations from Enterprise Transformations.
- Synergy: isolates Specific Elements from Shared Resources and Reused Models. Enterprise Architecture-Discipline represents the set of Transformation Processes to Build the Enterprise Model-Architecture.
Most of the concepts developped on this website are further developped in our white papers. You can download any white paper freely. Please do not re-use without explicit permission.
