| 1987 IBM Systems Journal- A Framework for Information Systems Architecture |

by J.A. Zachman "With increasing size and complexity of the implementations of information systems, it is necessary to use some logical construct (or architecture) for defining and controlling the interfaces and the integration of all of the components of the system. This paper defines information systems architecture by creating a descriptive framework from disciplines quite independent of information systems, then by analogy specifies information systems architecture based upon the neutral, objective framework. Also, some preliminary conclusions about the implications of the resultant descriptive framework are drawn. The discussion is limited to architecture and does not include a strategic planning methodology." IBM Systems Journal: Volume 26, Number 3, Page 276 (1987) Link to Full Article at IBM.com
