In the early ‘80’s, there was little interest in the idea of Enterprise Engineering or Enterprise Modeling and the use of formalisms and models was generally limited to some aspects of application development within the Information Systems community. The subject of architecture was acknowledged at that time, however, there was little definition to support the concept. This lack of definition precipitated the initial investigation that ultimately resulted in the “Framework for Information Systems Architecture” (later referred to as The Zachman Framework). Although from the outset, it was clear that it should have been referred to as the “Framework for Enterprise Architecture,” that enlarged perspective could only now begin to be generally understood as a result of the relatively recent and increased, world-wide focus on Enterprise Engineering.

THE FRAMEWORK FOR ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE: Background, Description and Utility by John A. Zachman ©1996, 2004, 2007, 2016 John A.

Zachman, Zachman International, Inc. The Framework for Enterprise Architecture (or Zachman Framework) as it applies to Enterprises is simply a logical structure for classifying and organizing the descriptive representations of an Enterprise that are significant to the management of the Enterprise as well as to the development of the Enterprise’s systems, manual systems as well as automated systems.

It was derived from analogous structures that are found in the older disciplines of Architecture/Construction and Engineering/Manufacturing that classify and organize the design artifacts created over the process of designing and producing complex physical products (e.g. Buildings or airplanes, etc.) The Framework graphic in its most simplistic form depicts the design artifacts that constitute the intersection between the perspectives represented in the design process, that is, OWNER, DESIGNER and BUILDER; and the product abstractions, that is, WHAT (material) it is made of, HOW (process) it works and WHERE (geometry) the components are relative to one another, WHO (operating instructions) is doing what work, WHEN (timing diagrams) do things happen and WHY (engineering design objectives) do things happen. Empirically, in the older disciplines, some other artifacts were observable that were being used for scoping and for implementation purposes. These additional perspectives are labeled PLANNER and IMPLEMENTER and are included in the Framework graphic that is commonly exhibited. In the more recent Framework Graphics, the end result, in the case of Enterprises, THE Enterprise itself, is also included to complete the classification structure of the descriptive representations (the “Design Artifacts”) as well as the end result (THE Enterprise). The Framework as a classification structure, in its most generic form appears below: Figure 1 A fully populated version of The Framework Graphic, Version 3.0 of 2011 is depicted below as Figure 2. This version of The Framework is the product of 30 or more years of research and experience finding words and graphic concepts to represent and convey the classification logic as precisely as possible.

The older disciplines of Architecture and Manufacturing have accumulated considerable bodies of product knowledge through disciplined management of the “Product Definition” design artifacts. This has enabled enormous increases in product sophistication and the ability to manage high rates of product change over time. Similarly, disciplined production and management of “ Enterprise Definition” (i.e. The set of models identified in the Framework for Enterprise Architecture) should provide for an accumulation of a body of Enterprise knowledge to facilitate enormous increases in Enterprise sophistication and accommodation of high rates of Enterprise change over time. The Populated “Zachman Framework” The Framework is a generic classification scheme for design artifacts, that is, descriptive representations of any complex object.
