Abstract

Enterprise Architecture has been in center of attention in late 90s as a comprehensive and leading solution regarding the development and maintenance of information systems. An enterprise is considered a set of elaborate physical and logical processes in which information flow plays a crucial role. The term Enterprise Architecture encompasses a collection of different views within the enterprise which constitute a comprehensive overview when put together. Such an overview can not be organized regardless of incorporating a logical structure called Enterprise Architecture Framework. Among various proposed frameworks, the Zachman Framework (ZF) is one of the most prominent ways of conceptualization. The main problem faced in using ZF is the lack of coherent and consistent models for its cells. Several distinctive solutions have been proposed in order to eliminate the problem, however achieving no success in thoroughly covering all the cells in ZF. In this paper, we proposed an integrated language based on Model Driven Architecture (MDA) in order to obtain compatible models for all cells in ZF. The proposed method was examined in practice, revealing its advantages and the efficiency gained in comparison to previously studied techniques.
