Abstract

A coherent description of architectures provides insight,enables communication among different stakeholdersand guides complicated (business and ICT) change processes.Unfortunately, so far no architecture descriptionlanguage exists that fully enables integrated enterprisemodelling. In this paper we focus on the requirements anddesign of such a language. This language defines generic,organisation-independent concepts that can be specialisedor composed to obtain more specific concepts to beused within a particular organisation. It is not our intentionto re-invent the wheel for each architectural domain:wherever possible we conform to existing languages orstandards such as UML. We complement them with missingconcepts, focussing on concepts to model the relationshipsamong architectural domains. The concepts shouldalso make it possible to define links between models inother languages. The relationship between architecturedescriptions at the business layer and at the applicationlayer (business-IT alignment) plays a central role.
