[[Enterprise Architecture Frameworks]] such as [[UAF]], [[Zachman]], and [[TOGAF]] compete with one-another. They present different, sometimes mutually exclusive ways they claim are 'the best' to approach given problems. When there's wild disagreement on what the 'best' solution to something is, then _perhaps_ it's not really been solved. [[Svyatoslav Kotusev]] (creator of the [[CSVLOD]] framework) argues that lol the [[Enterprise Architecture]] frameworks are based on _theory_ and not reality. [[In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, while in practice there is.]] > [!warning] There are **zero** examples of successful faithful implementations of any established EA Framework This claim is backed up by whatever article it was I found a year back or so in which a random forum-goer online compared and contrasted TOGAF/MoDAF/DoDAF/Zachman - in which one conclusion was basically that they all are bloated and ultimately suck. **** # More ## Source - [[The Practice of Enterprise Architecture]] ## Related
