Claim:
A computer-implemented method for storing enterprise architecture, the method comprising: defining a framework of a plurality of units, the framework comprising a plurality of levels and a plurality of categories, wherein the level of detail for each sequential level downwardly progresses from broad to narrow, wherein the framework comprises levels for a system model and a technology model, and wherein the framework comprises categories for processes and location; storing the framework in a computer readable medium; displaying the framework on a computer display using a computer system, wherein each unit in the framework corresponds to at least one user-editable webpage; wherein a first user-editable webpage associated with a first unit displays first enterprise architecture content, wherein the first enterprise architecture content comprises a first enterprise architecture diagram graphically displayed on the first user-editable webpage, wherein the first enterprise architecture diagram is based on a first set of guidelines, wherein the first set of guidelines is for at least one unit in the system model level and the processes category, and wherein the first set of guidelines corresponds to a first common format applicable to user modifications of the first user-editable webpage; and wherein a second user-editable webpage associated with a second unit displays second enterprise content, wherein the second enterprise architecture content comprises a second enterprise architecture diagram graphically displayed on the second user-editable webpage, wherein the second enterprise architecture diagram is based on a second set of guidelines, and wherein the second set of guidelines is for at least one unit in the technology model level and the processes category, and wherein the second set of guidelines corresponds to a second common format applicable to user modifications of the second user-editable webpage; storing the first enterprise architecture diagram and the second enterprise architecture diagram in a computer readable medium; facilitating individual selection of each of the plurality of units to display the corresponding at least one user-editable webpage; facilitating with an online editor a user modification of the at least one user-editable webpage; storing the modified one user-editable webpage in a computer readable medium; and displaying the modified user-editable webpage.
