Abstract
This chapter lays down the fundamental ideas and choices on which our approach is based. First, it identifies the needs of architects in the design, communication, realisation, and change of enterprise architectures. It then describes the central role of architecture models in our approach, the use of models in communication, the relationship between models and their presentation, and the formalisation of the meaning (i.e., semantics) of models.
