Models for Enterprise Architectures

According to Wikipedia articles there exist a number of models for Enterprise Architectures.
  • The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF)
  • Zachman Framework (IBM Framework from the 1980s, now claimed as a de facto world standard)
  • Department of Defence Architectural Framework
  • Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (United States Office of Management and Budget Federal Enterprise Architecture)
  • United Kingdom Ministry of Defence Architectural Framework
  • AGATE (French Délégation Générale pour l'Armement Atelier de Gestion de l'ArchiTEcture des systèmes d'information et de communication)
I think taking a look at these different modelling approaches may prove helpful in order to discuss more easily company structures as well as technical aspects.
