1479: 3197:* Related to the image, if you count, it is not "half" the icons. Of the 5 rows in question, of the 30 icons, 27 are essentially identical. Exceptions are: Row 1, number 3; row 2, number 2; row 3, number 2. The others are the same. Therefore let us stop discussing this and one of us create an acceptable use image. The new image can then be the high level image that is referenced. And since the order of the rows is not important, I suggest we go: why, how, what, who, where, when. If you want I can create an image that we can co-edit. I also propose that we use text only in the cells -- the icons are (IMO) mainly decorative. 1310: 1435: 502: 1447: 1408: 1531:* Therefore, unless a copy of a contract can be produced by the employee of the VA who asserts it is in the public domain showing such a release, we cannot simply take the word of some unknown employee. This image does not conform to Knowledge standards as being released into the public domain, as the employee does not have the authority to release that trademarked image. And it doesn't conform to any of the "free license" criteria. Therefore the image may not be displayed. That also goes for the image in all those other presentations as well. Those are all violations of 825:
that EA is asked to solve. You do not need ZF to perform Enterprise Architecture, and having ZF doesn't help you to perform EA duties. It is therefore neither necessary nor sufficient, and inasmuch, does not represent the actual practice of Enterprise Architecture as it has evolved and is practiced today. Nothing in the article as it presently exists would lead the reader to be aware of these facts. As a result, the article has wandered away from an impartial treatment of the subject and moved openly into tacit advertisement.

Row and between the meta entities of any one Cell and the Cell above it and the Cell below it. That is, the Framework Cells are horizontally and vertically integrated. Each meta entity in each Cell potentially could be related to any other meta entity in its Row and to either meta entity in the Cell above and to either meta entity in the Cell below." Granted, we are taking about potential relationships as reflected in the Zachman Framework. Actual relationships among completed cells would describe an actual enterprise.

from the intro. If someone wants to make a case why ZF should be considered an ontology, then perhaps a section in the article can be dedicated to that discussion (with citations to original articles that analyze the use of the term "ontology" with respect to the ZF). If anyone can find an indepdendent citation (someone not associated with ZIFA) in a respected publication (not the blogosphere) that refers to the ZF as an ontology, I'm all ears. Controversial claims do not belong in the intro for an article. --

entities that comprise and describe anything, and not just enterprises or their information systems. The "Zachman Enterprise Framework," which is really what this article is about I might add, is one of many possible applications of the Zachman Framework, and, yes, it could involved computerized information systems if that is the technology used in the building of a given enterprise. But I don't think it would then follow that the meaning of "ontology" as used in information science would then apply.

vital issue. The Strategy has all of the attributes of a successful undertaking: Enterprise vision, business and information technology collaboration, and top management support. I was also impressed by the Department’s realization that Enterprise Architecture is actually a business issue, not a technical issue. And I was extremely pleased that the 20 VA delegates to this Enterprise Architecture Innovation Team represented equal numbers of business executives and information technology executives.

reality is used primarily (I would say entirely but there are probably the isolated data architect here or there) by enterprise architects. Why he added the bottom row I do not know because it is never anywhere described with real world models or artifacts. Perhaps he just liked the symmetry of 6 by 6. So I think we should retain the sentence but I agree with your point about the intro. Perhaps it should be relocated to the Topics section under "Models and Cells". What do you think?
3521: 1520:* It is pretty simple. You say: "Every company knows that if I US federal departement creates new graphical work based on their ideas that work is in the public domain." This not a correct statement. Having worked in consulting I can tell you there are two approaches to intellectual capital when contracting with a client. Stating most simple: (a) Anything you produce for them is owned by them. This is rare. And (b) anything you produce for them may be used by them and reused by them 422: 533: 3404: 2807:
detail of the image, and focus on the similarities of that one detail. I think there is a lot more to it... then just the icons used to illustrate the cells of the Framework. You could also look at the image as a whole, and details as: the way the matrix is constructed; the colours used in the frame; the colours used in the background; the lettertypes; the exact text used; and .... don't in the background the existence of possible other originals which could have been used.
1558:* I don't see why it is an issue anyway. We aren't talking about the concept of the framework here. We are talking about an image. They are separate. It is perfectly possible to have valid and legal textual material and then provide reference links to the trademarked image, without posting the trademarked image on Knowledge. They don't care if anyone prints it. Knowledge just doesn't have the right to post it and assert it as being in the public domain -- since it isn't. 144: 4681:(AF)', this is the current term used to describe the metamodel that defines the terminology of EA. Note that as (Noran, 2003) shows, the Zachman Framework is not exactly what we would call a ‘life cycle architecture’, there is a clear connection between a life cycle architecture and the Zachman Framework, which makes either of these qualify as Architecture Frameworks. The ‘technical trick’ of ISO15704:2000 is that it is actually Framework agnostic... 71: 53: 22: 927:
Marcel and others have been worthwhile. I'll look into the personal Knowledge page thing. In the meantime, I assure you there is no conflict of interest. I don't work for Zachman International, if that is what you mean. Secondary sources of information is OK as long as they are correct. Secondary sources such as the VA tutorial depicting an incorrectly labelled image of the old version of the Zachman Framework is not OK, in my opinion.
3251:. It might seems like a strange solution, but maybe the whole copyright claim resolves itself if we (or better I) stop pretending the VA Zachman Framework is a representation of the Zachman Framework. Maybe this is the "mistake" I made from the beginning... or better: This is the new perspective I got from the ongoing discussion. I allready separated those images in Wikicommons by putting them in a separate directory concering the 1491: 4527:
said things that the cited article did not say. That is original work, and does not belong in Knowledge. I went to the source material (Sessions article) and copied the description of the framework, verbatim, from the source to the article. Grammatical changes are certainly appropriate, but re-editing the sentence, over and over, to the point where it disagrees with the sources is not.

available and easily referenced criticisms of the Zachman Framework. Without making any effort to discuss the limitations of the framework, why it is largely ignored in wide swaths of both business and industry, and has been completely superceded by more recent frameworks, the article reads like an advertisement for a commercial organization: ZIFA. This causes me great concern.

any cell. Thus a server will have a location -- and going down the location (where) column that location will be more precisely defined (e.g. data center, room, rack, location in rack, etc.) But the mapping between the server and the location never occurs in the framework itself -- those are completely separate. Same for an owner (who) -- the server will have an owner.

image is in the public domain." This assertion is false. A federal employee who makes a copy of a trademarked and copyrighted image and then posts it does not, simply because they are a federal employee who made the copy as part of their duties, make the image a public domain image. The image is not in the public domain. Therefore it cannot be used in Knowledge.

associated with multiple other entities (not parents) would be a sub-process (a child in a larger process model) being performed by (associated with) more than one role in an organization or at more than one location, etc. The associations among the cell models of a completed framework are many-to-many, not child-parent as seen in hierarchical taxonomies.

are several variants now of Data Flow Diagrams - the current incarnation with circles doesn't look much like the older version with rectangles, but that doesn't really matter. If an old diagram or tool works, there should be no problem using it. There would only be a problem if the OGC tried to stop anyone using diagrams from older versions of SSADM.

are usually labeled, and often directional. An ontological relationship is never "any-to-any." The fact that ZF not only allows "any-to-any" relationships, but explicitly requires that users consider all relationships to be in this mold means that the term "ontology" is inappropriate. I would like to stick to "classification scheme." --
3788:. Really that might be its own article. It is a Zachman Framework influenced framework, but the Zachman Framework is not a methodology. Never has been. It is an ontology (or taxonomy if you prefer), but it has never been a methodology. So perhaps the "One-VA Enterprise Architecture" should become its own article and cross link to both the 4284:
unstructured. They are "any-to-any" relationships. Unfortunately, that means that they are not relationships at all. The reality is that ZF is a classification scheme. The English language does not have a single elegant word that means "classification scheme." The closest we have come to are the words "taxonomy" and "ontology".

hold conversations with him, on this page, we cannot know if his contribution is, in fact, a conflict of interest. I call upon Phogg2 to provide a sufficiently clear and consise description of himself and his interest in this subject on his personal wikipedia page, as most of the other editors have done.

related. The other meaning of ontology adopted by artifical intelligence and computer science has more to do with specifying the language used to define concepts. This latter meaning obviously does not apply, but I think the first one does. I shall try and find third party references for consideration.

center with this new image). I haven't checked all text yet, but I trust it is all right for now. Now about the lay out. I would advice not to create a lay-out similar to the 1992 ZF version. This could be confusing in the article as well. But again I would like to leave it to you, for now. Ok...?? --
4411:
Sorry for my incorrect English above. I wanted to state that "I oppose to that exact definition, which is not the general opinion in the field". Secondary sources (those who don't just repeat Zachman's literaly) neither conform the Zachman Framework is an ontology, nor that it is a methodology. It is
4364:
John Zachman takes great pains to explain that the Framework is not a methodology. Shouldn't this trump all references that mistakenly refer to it as a methodology? I understand the need to reflect information from third party sources, but don't we have an obligation not to reproduce information that
4175:
The domains are thus the columns, the cells are the concepts or entities, and the relationships are internal to each cell. It is also true that cross domain relationships exist but they are not expressed in the framework. For example, a material (entity) will have a location. That is not expressed in
1637:
There is a lot of difference. You where explaining about how companies keep their copyright when they work with the US Federal departments. If so, they always add a copyright mark to show it. You see this all the time...!!! Now the VA presentation is not made by Zachman, but inspired on his work. And
1176:
Maybe the leading section (before TOC) can encapsulate the origins and latest incarnation in one go. Any diagram at the top should probably be the most recent version, or the one most commonly used. The problem though, is to cite reputable references, rather than using original research (i.e. our own
1091:
For example, the OGC maintain the SSADM standard (currently at version 4). The older versions have not disappeared and have not been invalidated, there's just a newer official version that is being maintained and developed. Someone using diagrams from the older versions would not be wrong, e.g. there
4289:
The actual uses of those terms, outside information science, are radically different. Taxonomy is most frequently used in life sciences to refer to a classification scheme that is admittedly hierarchical. The natural association in people's minds, when hearing the term "taxonomy," will be to think
4213:
The term "taxonomy" has also been applied to the Framework in several places in the article. I don't think this is accurate. A taxonomy is a particular kind of classification, one where the things are aranged according to a hierarchy and where a given child entity cannot be associated with more than
4183:
Thus I would say the framework is incomplete -- although I have had Zachman proponents contend otherwise to me. They hold the position that diagrams of such relationships are "implementation diagrams", and are not part of "architecture". That is a valid position to hold, but it does mean that a tool
2754:
Conclusion -- it is essentially almost a direct copy. There is no actual business value generated by copying the shape of the icons in the rows, and in fact there would be more value in providing a text description in each cell (again, IMO) -- but if icons were to be provided it would be likely that
1855:
In general, whenever you create a presentation that you want to place in the public domain, if you have the right to do so, you may -- but if you incorporated a copyrighted image within your work -- you must delete that image from that slide. Or. Simply recreate the material in your own terms. There
1700:
And that was correct -- even though the Open Group officially told me to create a copy of the image, and expressly granted permission for Knowledge to display it, that did not constitute placing it in the public domain. And the same reasoning applies here. The fact that it was a federal employee who
1334:
Let us discuss this here on this article talk page. I have been informed by Samuel Holcman that John Zachman has not released the image into the public domain. Beyond the above reasoning, using a 2002 image for the framework in 2009 is not useful -- a wrong image is not better than no image. I think
1252:
The image that has been used in this page asserts that it is in the public domain (see . The assertion is: "This image is a work of a United States Department of Veterans Affairs employee, taken or made during the course of an employee's official duties. As a work of the U.S. federal government, the

Ok. It would be very nice if any diagram at the top should be the most recent version. However these diagrams are almost always copyrighted. Now there is a small margin for non-free use/fair use in Knowledge. But if there is any alternative way to illustrate the article, non-free use/fair use is not
1147:
I think it is inevitable, that articles like this can't focuss on just the latest update. I think Knowledge articles should mainly focuss on the original idea, and add any new update as a footnote in the history section. In this concept an older version of the zachman Framework can never been wrong.
1004:
of John Zachman, as well as how organisations actually use the tool, both aspects are important to an encyclopedia. It's a bit like what would happen if the founders of Scrum had a hissy fit every time someone said it was OK to change the stories part way through a timebox ... they actually say that

I am an EA practitioner with extensive training and experience with working with the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture. My only criticism has been related to the use of old, outdated, and incorrectly labelled images of the Zachman Framework. I think most of the other improvements made by

The most active contributor to this article, over the years, has been Phogg2. Unfortunately, this individual has never elected to complete his own page on Knowledge or declare his identity. (I am only using male pronouns out of convenience. I do not know Phogg's gender). As a result, while we can

P.S. I started that critisism section, with only one critique expecting the section to be expanded by others. Now I think you have given some valuable directions for more critism. And I agree that without it, the article is incomplete. I think good critisism can give the readera better understanding
4889:
Mdd,... The edits made are precisely in line with the publicly available documents for the Zachman Framework. I am happy to discuss with you. I would encourage you to review the Zachman Framework itself and note that in its title is self described as a framework for EA and services as an Ontology.
4546:
I think the confusion over the reference to the Zachman Framework as an ontology is related to its two meanings. When Zachman uses the term ontology he is using it in the context of its original meaning as a branch of metaphysics, i.e., concering questions about what entities exist and how they are
4526:
For quite some time, there has been a citation to Roger Sessions' comparison of EA frameworks used as a source for the text in the intro. Somewhere along the way, the text of the intro morphed, to the point where the text and the citation did not match. In fact, the text in the intro specifically

As noted above, the fact that the relationships are implicit and can connect anything to anything is important. This fact means that the relationships are, in fact, absent. An ontology (in information science) derives most of its value from the relationships between the concepts themselves, which
4331:
referenced sources call it a taxonomy, then wikipedia will reflect that. Currently in the first 3 paragraphs the framework is twice referred to as an ontology and once as a taxonomy so that may be the appropriate balance. (I argued that it is not a methodology at all but it is also referred to as a
4295:
We could certainly qualify the term "taxonomy", to remove the implicit association, by calling ZF a "non hierarchical taxonomy," but I doubt that this compromise adds clarity over simply calling it a "classification scheme." If we are going to remove taxonomy, and I'm OK with that, I'd prefer that
4209:
The term "classification scheme" appears several times in the article. Zachman uses the term "classification schema" in most of his writings. While "scheme" and "schema" are often used interchangeably, "schema" implies a a structure or model for some scheme or plan, i.e., something to which content
3892:
Just for the record. I am not trying just to keep the things like they are. I an not convinced about the need for those clean ups. By bringing this up, maybe unintentionaly, you made me realize that there is something very important missing in this article...!? This is the story of how to apply the
3298:
Ok, I get the picture. You propose an exclusively textual version with some optional lay out and colouring. This is fine with me. We can use this concept to create the one image for on top of the article. And I guess we could use the same image in the two explaining images (by replacing the current
3279:
It might be validly argued that all the cells should contain is "cell name" for example "Data Entity Specification". In which case in the body of the article there should be an explanation of what the cells contain, referenced to name. The fact that the current framework article does not do this is
2956:
I believe that any jury would look at the points I made about the number of identical icons within the two images (Zachman's and the VA image) and accept that one was copied from the the other. There is ZERO chance that, given two people who were explained the details of the framework, and who were

a "copyright encumbrance". What does that mean? It means what I said before. There is nothing wrong with the presentation as a whole. There is nothing wrong with the VA using it internally. The wrong only becomes when it is assumed they can post the whole presentation to the world as public domain.
1651:
In this matter the 11 pages presentation is clearly new work. And things like the TOGAF framework could/should be considered derived work. So your initial argument that Zachman never released the image makes no sense. He never created this new work, so he can never claim copyright. And this problem
1577:
I guess you are forgetting the one thing. If the copyright of the VA presentation was in any way owned by Zachman it should have simply be mentioned with a copyright marking. The work is never released by Zachman because it is never made by Zachman. If I am mistaken here, please ask Sam Holcman the
1166:
Yes. I agree. That's my point. It is legitimate to use and talk about older versions of something - especially when they have become widespread and generic, the originator cannot have a real claim on the sole definition any more. Moreover, the person who commented on TOGAF would have done better to
4742:
Advantages of the Zachman framework are that it is easy to understand, it addresses the or methodologies, and any issues can be mapped against it to understand where they fit. An important drawback is the large number of cells, which is an obstacle for the practical applicability of the framework.
4311:
The associations are not visible in the 6x6 matrix but I would argue that they are a part of the Framework. Here is what John Zachman says about them: "In addition to the basic entities within each Cell, there clearly is a potential relationship between all of the Cell meta entities across any one
4283:
Weighing in on this discussion (late... sorry). The use of the word 'ontology' was a compromise made over a year ago to get out of a similar long debate. I do not agree that ZF is an ontology, especially since it claims no relationships between the parts. The relationships are both implicit and
3740:
I think the problem here is that this section is called "application" but it hardly explaines about applicating the Zachman Framework. This is a source of confusion. Just moving the section doesn't solve anything here. I think renaming the section to for example "influences" does. Again a separate

Initial version is not "handsome". But -- clearly not a copy, no icons, and communicates better I think just what is expected in each of the "cells" whereas current diagrams are just pretty pictures. Note this is similar in approach to the current "1992 Framework". However a difference is that the

Simply every matrix like image in the field of Enterprise architecure has similarities with one and an other. Dozens of similar images have been created in the 1990s by in several initiatives, some of them by John Zachman. There is a series of similar matrix like images, which we nowadays call the

1290:
Hi, I undone your removal of the Zachman Framework image. The matter if this is a copyright or not is far form clear. The image itself is created in 2002 by the US-VA in the time that Zachman was working together with the US department. In 2002 the original Zachman Frameworks were quite different.
1101:
From comments made here, however, it would appear that this is what John Zachman and his supporters are trying to do. All past versions were valid at the time, and he has been successful enough for his technique to have become generic, like the Hoover vacuum cleaner becoming so popular that people
942:
What?? In the past months I have created several different versions based on your comments. These are all abstractions of the original Zachman Framework, which has been altered by Zachman & Co at least a dozen times since the first 1987 original. It is not as black and white as you pretend. --
4530:
Also, while John Zachman himself claims that ZF is an ontology, there is no basis for that belief in the literature of information science. He does refer to his framework, many times, as a mechanism for classification. That much is clear and not disputed. As such, I removed the word "ontology"
4247:
I didn't mean cells in lower parts of the framework being children of upper level cells. That would really be against the logic of the Framework as all cells are meant to be independent and mutually exclusive (like the entries in the Periodic Table of Elements). An example of a child entity being

This doesn't mean the "simple example of the VA Zachman Framework" can still be considered a copyright violation. I have argued from the beginning that "the matter if this is a copyright or not is far from clear". In order to determine whether or not there is copyright violation you should make a
2689:
So did the VA copy any image created by Zachman International? I don't think so. Or at least I am not aware of any original by John Zachman that is an exact original of the VA Zachman Framework. It does have some similarities with the 2001 Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture. But the VA

In other words, every one who creates an illustration of the Zachman Framework concept, is in violation. Zachman Internation is the one authority in the world allowed to create those illustrations. The many dozens of scientists and organization, who have creates similar images or who incorporated

To the point about the VA presentation -- it is perfectly legal and legitimate for an agency to contract with Zachman, and as part of his delivered work, include an image of his framework in their internal materials. It does not then suddenly however become a public domain image. The concept that
824:
In some ways, ZF is a moot discussion. It is simple and well referenced, albeit ever-changing. It is so general that it is difficult to pin it down and criticize it as being anything except too comprehensive. Yet, most would agree that the framework, by itself, doesn't solve any actual problems
4179:
These relationships are documented as metadata for an entity, so in the server metadata might appear (IT owner, business owner) and location (data center/room/rack/rack location). This metadata does not occur in the framework. It does not occur in any cell of the framework. However relationships

I rephrased the sentence "The Zachman framework is an ontology not a methodology", to "The Zachman framework is more of an ontology than a methodology". I oppose this exact definition, whichn't the general opinion in the field. We don't let companies or scientists dictate Knowledge articles like
3734:
I would like you to give me some time to respond, because I am not convinced (yet), especially about moving the application section. No matter what, this section is related to Zachman Framework. Moving this section, I think, doesn't solve the problem why this section should be moved in the first

I am leaning though to just having "cell name" in the cell. Rather as you did with the 1992 image. (BTW -- my positive comment about the 1992 image referred to how it looked -- nice, clean, good cell bevelling. My unpositive comment was only referring to the fact that it is way many years out of
2806:
Again I agree with your line of approach here of making a comparisment between the 2001 Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture, and the VA Zachman Framework image. I however disagree with the way you actually compare the two frameworks, and your conclusion... Because you only compared one

As for the 3rd change -- yes perhaps it need not be in the intro. However I think it is important to provide information as to why we have a 5 row framework rather than a 6 row framework. As Zachman himself admits, only the first 5 rows are used for enterprise architecture. And the framework in

Nick, I'll have a look at the blog that you have started and see if there is anything I may be able to contribute. As to which meaning of ontology applies, I would just like to point out that the Zachman Framework, what John Zachman calls the "normative" one, is a framework for classifying the

You also state: "The Zachman Framework is not a methodology. Never has been". I am not claiming it is. But as far a I know it has been used, and is still being used as a base for enterprise architecture. And quite often, some investigations tell us. This is an other thing, this article should

If so I will take a stab at a matrix. I will then produce the associated text. If you like it then I would ask you to take your much superior skill with graphics to make the resulting matrix look as nice as the one you did for the 1992 image. How does this approach strike you?

Thanks again for explaining. I think I agree with your point of view here. I came to the same conclusion from a historical perspective. John Zachman first proposed the concept, and he (and Zachman International) created a series of images that represent the idea, see

These images are all based on the ideas of Zachman, but as far as I know he never released either of them. He created an idea in a matrix shape, which has inspired lot's of other people. But Zachman doesn't keep all the copyright here of this new developments.

An ontology might be more simply defined as: "an explicit specification of a conceptualization", or "a description of the concepts and relationships of a collection of entities". Knowledge has two references, I think we are referencing the wrong one. One is

After looking into this matter some more, I have changed my mind somewhat and now think that "ontology" as used in information science does in fact apply to the Zachman Framework. I'll post my reasoning on Nick's blog in a little while.
4460:
There is some agreement here. (1) ZF is not a methodology. Let's say so, explitely. Saying that it is more of an ontology than a methodology is misleading because it implies that it could have methodology associated with it. ZF does

provide a methodology (the Architecture Development Method or ADM). So it true that it is "more of" an ontology than a methodology (because something is more than zero). But I also agree with your point so I remain okay with the change.
