Then, whenever you create a new model, Rational Rose provides a list of frameworks to use as the basis for the new one. The new model is seeded with all the model objects and diagrams from the framework model. Rational Rose comes with a number of technology-oriented frameworks. A framework for the RUP is also available, which provides a set of packages that loosely correspond to the RUP project lifecycle phases. I created a framework for the Zachman ISA framework.
Frameworks have a greater potential in supporting enterprise model management.
First, you need to create a model for the enterprise and create a framework. Then each new project model needs to be based on the enterprise model framework. All the standard enterprise model's objects instantly become available to the project. As the project progresses, you may make changes to the project's version of the model, such as add new model objects and diagrams and, possibly, suggest changes to the existing model objects. At the appropriate time in the lifecycle, you compare the project model with the existing enterprise model.
