Reference Architecture

Template illustrating a proven architectural solution for a known problem. Technical domain-specific high-level blueprint of building blocks and their alignment. Not all reference models map to a reference architecture.  

Reference Implementation

A proven way of implementing Reference Architecture, often combining several patterns/platforms/products Includes lower level details for realizing Reference Architecture  

Reference Model

Reference Model provides Common language, model, framework and notations reduces complexity and improve agility of Enterprise Architecture while trying to: Describe and analyze investments, Enhance collaboration across architecture domains, Evolve Architecture Maturity Foundational model for the realization of an abstract framework with domain-specific taxonomy expressed as metamodel objects Mapping of cross-domain specific entities Representational hierarchy Read more about Reference Model[…]
