Abstract

While Chap. 2 presented IAF and its aspect areas, this chapter focuses on IAF’s artifacts and architectural views. It is based on the Integrated Architecture Content Framework (IACF) which is a formal collection of all artifacts and views. All artifacts of IACF will be discussed and defined in this chapter. The collection of views explained consists of views we encountered frequently throughout the years. A exhaustive listing of views makes no sense, due to the large number of potential stakeholders and concerns who might need their own specific presentation of the architecture.

Notes

  1. 1.

    ‘The sins of the architect are permanent sins’ – Frank Lloyd Wright.

  2. 2.

    The terms ‘mapping’ and ‘allocating’ are both used in this context. They are synonyms.

  5. 5.

    It should be noted that several of these quality models may not have been altogether new and might have emerged long before; we only try to indicate the point in time where these areas actually entered the ‘holistic’ Business/IT architecture arena, and required the architect to develop skills in them.
