TLDR
This chapter helps the reader see how architecture development and modelling can be optimally supported by discussing why certain forms of modelling are used in some situation and how this fits the goals in the process.Abstract:
This chapter presents a communication perspective of enterprise architectures. We provide both a theoretical and a practical perspective of the issues involved in the communication of enterprise architectures. The general idea is that the chapter helps the reader see how architecture development and modelling can be optimally supported by discussing why certain forms of modelling are used in some situation and how this fits the goals in the process. The theoretical perspective will focus on communication during system development in general, where the word system should be interpreted as any open and active system, consisting of both human and computerised actors, that is purposely designed. The practical perspective will take shape as a set of practical guidelines that should aid architects in the selection and definition of architecture description approaches that are apt for a specific (communication) context.read more

Representation and analysis of enterprise models with semantic techniques: an application to ArchiMate, e3value and business model canvas

TL;DR: The results show that the graph-based approach is able to handle the specification, integration and analysis of enterprise models represented with different modelling languages and, on the other, that the integration challenge resides in defining appropriate mapping functions between the schemas.

Enterprise Architecture: What Did We Study?
TL;DR: Enterprise architecture (EA) is a description of an enterprise from an integrated business and IT perspective intended to improve business andIT alignment, and is used in the majority of large companies.

CHOOSE: Towards a metamodel for enterprise architecture in small and medium-sized enterprises
TL;DR: The CHOOSE metamodel is presented, based on the essential dimensions of EA frameworks, that was developed and evaluated through action research in an SME and further refined and validated through case study research in five other SMEs.

Investigating the Usage of Enterprise Architecture Artifacts
TL;DR: It is argued that the most significant problems in EA practice arise because the usage of individual EA artifacts in practice is poorly understood, and how this gap is going to be investigated is described.

A hybrid method for evaluating enterprise architecture implementation.
TL;DR: This research provides a suitable foundation for researchers who wish to extend and continue this research topic with further analysis and exploration, and for practitioners who would like to employ an effective and lightweight evaluation method for EA projects.
