These standards apply the logic, classification, structure and semantics of Framework2 that bring more discipline to the field of enterprise architecture. Although there are many approaches to enterprise architecture in today’s world, these are the first standards that were developed by Zachman Framework Associates with John A. Zachman's expertise, insight and endorsement of the standards. The purpose of these standards is to bring clarification, a business orientation, consistency, differentiation and establish a benchmark for certification. To further understand the underlying rationale for this material, John has written an article: The Zachman Framework™ Standards: What's it all about?During the past decade we have had the opportunity to have the international community of practice contribute to more clarification in this ongoing effort. We gratefully acknowledge our partners in the development of this material SIL International (the foremost authority in language development). It is expected that the architects and methodologists in the enterprise will consistently elaborate these base standards to describe their current practices, and be certified as compliant for local use. Subsequently, that this knowledge will be shared with the wider enterprise architecture community of practice, by having the elaboration certified as an industry wide compliant or ultimately introduced as detailed elaboration to the base standard.
