Since there are so many responses out there, I will do some of the math so you don't have to. I will start cataloging them for you. To help with that task, I will engage in a search for the best definitions out there (according to me). I'm going to start with the top 20. An together we'll perfect that list. Are you in?
While listening to the McCarthy Show (it is a great site worth your while), I learned that it is infinitely more efficient to perfect something than to create something. So, I will find top 20 EA definitions that I like and together (you and I) will work on perfecting this list.
Simple ground rules: If you think a definition needs to be bumped because there is one better, then post your comment with the relevant link and our expert panel of judges (me and the next 4 readers who would like to volunteer) will make a determination about adding it. All submissions will be accompanied with a post in this site and, if selected, a re-post will announce the new change to the list.
Without further ado, here it is (last updated as of August 22, 2010):
- Enterprise Architecture: As MIT sees it. Follow it here. These guys also added a compendium of other EA definitions. All are neatly organized in easy to follow PDF files. I smell treasure trove!
- Enterprise Architecture: The way IBM sees it. Follow it here.
- Enterprise Architecture: What doe ORACLE have to say about it? Follow it here. Did you know that Larry Ellison owns the CUSTOMER table of their internal data model. Way to go Larry!
- Enterprise Architecture: As Microsoft sees it. Follow it here.
- Enterprise Architecture: How about we toss a "world view" of EA and let the Institute for EA Developments have a crack at it. Follow it here.
