Presentation
The Geography of Enterprise Architecture
As the importance of IT architecture becomes more widely acknowledged, conversations between people with different perspectives and concerns have become more frequent. Too often these conversations resemble the story of the blind men and the elephant. Much of the vocabulary used to discuss IT architecture is locally defined, and as we take a more global view of the subject, it has become apparent that this vocabulary is inconsistent and unsystematic, making productive conversations between various constituencies difficult.

This presentation explores the issues around a common definition of and vocabulary for Enterprise Architecture, and proposes a stategy for addressing them.
