Step 2: Make a video less than 7 minutes with you talking directly, answering the following question:

What is Zachman's Framework? Hint: Talk about the SCOPE, BUSINESS MODEL, SYSTEM MODEL, TECHNOLOGY MODEL, DETAILED REPRESENTATIONS & FUNCTIONING ENTERPRISE.

Tips: Use the webcam/camera in good lighting (light source behind camera or on top, dark background), write what you plan to say, print it in big font, paste it on the camera, so you are directly looking at the camera, be a bit loud and clear . Practice, practice, you will get it. See Week 2 Supplements section for more tips.

Step 3: Upload the video on http://www.youtube.com/ - You can sign-up for a free account.

1) Zachman Framework : A framework for enterprise architecture that provides both a formal and structured way of viewing and defining an enterprise.

2) The framework is used for organizing enterprise architectural “artifacts” in a way that considers:

a. Who does the artifact targets (business or owner)b. What issue is being addressed: Data or functionality

3) Artifacts include: Design documents, specs and models4) The framework is a Matrix and names after its creator John Zachman who first developed

the concept in the 80s while employed at IBM and which has been updated several times since its development.

5) Zachman’s Framework:a. SCOPE: Contextual and for the planner: is the first row of the model which is

the size, shape, partial relationships, and purpose of the final structure and it corresponds to an executive summary for a planner or investor who wants an overview of estimate of the scope of the system, what it would cost, and how it would relate to the general environment in which it will operate.

b. BUSINESS MODEL – conceptual and for the Owner - the architect's drawings that depict the final building from the perspective of the owner, who will have to live with it in the daily routines of business. They correspond to the enterprise (business) models, which constitute the designs of the business and show the business entities and processes and how they relate.

c. SYSTEM MODEL – Logical and for the designer - architect's plans are the translation of the drawings into detail requirements representations from the designer's perspective. They correspond to the system model designed by a systems analyst who must determine the data elements, logical process flows, and functions that represent business entities and processes.

d. TECHNOLOGY MODEL – Physical and for the builder - contractor must redraw the architect's plans to represent the builder's perspective, with sufficient detail to understand the constraints of tools, technology, and materials

e. DETAILED REPRESENTATIONS – Out of context and for the Subcontractor -

Subcontractors work from shop plans that specify the details of parts or subsections. These correspond to the detailed specifications that are given to programmers who code individual modules without being concerned with the overall context or structure of the system

f. FUNCTIONING ENTERPRISE – Real and for the users.

6) Focus or Colums:

a. The data description — What b. The function description — How c. The Network description — Where d. The people description — Who e. The time description — When f. The motivation description — Why
