What is an Architecture Framework? It is a tool that can be used for developing a broad range of different architectures. It should describe a method for designing an information system in terms of a set of building blocks, and for showing how the building blocks fit together. There are many enterprise-architecture frameworks none of the enterprise-architecture methodologies is really complete. Each has its strengths and weaknesses.
