Structure in Threes: Concerning Architecture

There is a broad debate within the various enterprise architecture communities 1) What is Enterprise Architecture 2) What is the value of Enterprise Architecture, and 3) Who is an Enterprise Architect and how does s/he accomplish work.  This text will present my own opinion on this topic, the three questions above, and more.  This is based upon my own experiences practicing this arcane discipline.  I do not propose this is the definitive answer to such questions –but rather an effort to document an ontology of the architectural concerns with methods and tools I’ve collated over the years to manipulate these variables– though a publisher may later add hyperbole in an effort to sell the book.

This work is being design to be used in a digital format as there will be many cross connections to the multidimensional space I believe Enterprise Architecture exists in.  If you are reading this in book form be prepared to flip forward and backward to get the full context of what is being discussed.
