Enterprise Architecture has large potential, if practiced with a holistic enterprise scope rather than as extension from IT. This presentation covers findings of The Open Group's Business Architecture Working Group and proposes evolved definitions and descriptions for Enterprise Architecture. This provides a new context for defining Business Architecture.
