Data-Centric Enterprise Architecture

Abstract

Enterprises choose Enterprise Architecture (EA) solution, in order to overcome dynamic business challenges and in coordinate various enterprise elements. In this article, a solution is suggested for the Enterprise Architecture development. The solution focuses on architecture data in the Enterprise Architecture development process. Data-centric architecture approach is preferred product-centric architecture approach. We suggest using Enterprise Ontology (EO) as context for collecting architecture data; Enterprise Ontology enhances quality of architecture data and lead to effective architecture results for decision-making. First, Enterprise is modeled using the ontology. Then how collecting Enterprise Architecture data based on the Enterprise Ontology is explained. Finally, the results and advantages of the solution are demonstrated.
