Reference frameworks and methods of the enterprise architecture

International reference frameworks for enterprise architecture

International reference frameworks for enterprise architecture are generally accepted and de-facto standards and methods. They support the coordination of the organisation’s structures, functions, processes and the information and technology required therein.

The frameworks include guidelines and instructions that organisations can use for the comprehensive management and development of their architecture.

In addition to the reference frameworks, architecture work makes use of reference models and reference architectures that are presented in standardised notation.
