Enterprise Architecture Diagrams

This enterprise architecture diagram sample was drawn on the base of the figure illustrating the webpage "Enterprise Architecture" from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website.
"The USDA's Enterprise Architecture program strategically partners with all agencies to provide value to USDA's mission areas, business processes, and Information Technology (IT) capabilities.
Introduction.
The USDA Enterprise Architecture (EA) helps make sure information technology investments align with the mission and goals of the Department. It defines how information and technology should support USDA’s strategic goals and benefit the business.
Purpose.
The intent of the USDA Enterprise Architecture is to help make the information technology (IT) expenditures more effectively serve the mission and goals of the organization. Enterprise architecture defines how information and technology support USDA’s strategic planning to benefit our business. There are many ways to organize the information and diagrams that make up the architecture."

The enterprise architecture diagram example "USDA's Enterprise Architecture" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Enterprise Architecture Diagrams solution from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This library of vector stencils "Enterprise architecture diagrams" contains 16 shapes for visualizing the enterprise architecture (EA) models using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Enterprise architecture (EA) is "a well-defined practice for conducting enterprise analysis, design, planning, and implementation, using a holistic approach at all times, for the successful development and execution of strategy. Enterprise Architecture applies architecture principles and practices to guide organizations through the business, information, process, and technology changes necessary to execute their strategies. These practices utilize the various aspects of an enterprise to identify, motivate, and achieve these changes."
Practitioners of EA call themselves enterprise architects. An enterprise architect is a person responsible for performing this complex analysis of business structure and processes and is often called upon to draw conclusions from the information collected. By producing this understanding, architects are attempting to address the goals of Enterprise Architecture: Effectiveness, Efficiency, Agility, and Durability." [Enterprise architecture. Wikipedia]

"Enterprise architecture is a comprehensive framework used to manage and align an organization's Information Technology (IT) assets, people, operations, and projects with its operational characteristics. In other words, the enterprise architecture defines how information and technology will support the business operations and provide benefit for the business.
It illustrates the organization’s core mission, each component critical to performing that mission, and how each of these components is interrelated. These components include:
(1) Guiding principles,
(2) Organization structure,
(3) Business processes,
(4) People or stakeholders,
(5) Applications, data, and infrastructure,
(6) Technologies upon which networks, applications and systems are built.
Guiding principles, organization structure, business processes, and people don’t sound very technical. That’s because enterprise architecture is about more than technology. It is about the entire organization (or enterprise) and identifying all of the bits and pieces that make the organization work." [enterprisearchitecture.nih.gov/ Pages/ what.aspx]

This enterprise architecture diagram example was drawn on the base of the figure illustrating the webpage "ISE Enterprise Architecture Framework 2007" from the Semantic Community website. "The ISE Enterprise Architecture Framework.
As Figure ... depicts, the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Reference Models (RMs) provide the basis for the ISE EAF. All elements of the ISE EAF are mapped back to elements of the FEA RMs with the FEA management processes applied by the OMB leveraged in support of implementing the ISE. The four ISE EAF partitions are mapped to the five FEA RMs to enable tracking the development of the ISE EAF across agencies using standardized OMB policies and processes that structure EA development and budgeting processes. The ISE EAF also provides an overarching mapping of the ISE into not only Federal civil systems, but also national security systems. ...
Two primary views are used to describe the ISE EAF: 1) the Architect’s View and 2) the Implementer’s View. While the term “view” is typically used to refer to different aspects of an architecture, the OMB suggested the term “partition” rather than the more common terms “architecture” or “view” to differentiate the ISE approach as a framework from the approach typically used in departmental and agency EAs. The Architect’s View comprises four partitions:
1) Business,
2) Data,
3) Application and Service, and
4) Technical.
The Architect’s View is used to provide structural alignment of the ISE architectural components into the FEA structure to ensure strategies, business processes, investments, data, systems, and technologies within the ISE are integrated and compatible with those across the Federal government."

This enterprise architecture (EA) metamodel diagram example was redesigned from the illustration of article " helicopters and metamodels take 2".
"This is a “helicopter” level view – meant as a consulting and conversation guide for senior managers to help them place enterprise architecture appropriately in their strategic thinking."
