Zachmanフレームワーク
Since the 1990s several extended frameworks have been proposed, such as:
Matthew & McGee (1990) extended the three initial perspectives "what", "how" and "where", to event (the "when"), reason (the "why") and organization (the "who").
Evernden (1996) presented an alternative Information FrameWork.
The Integrated Architecture Framework developed by Capgemini since 1996.
Vladan Jovanovic et all (2006) presents a Zachman Cube, an extended of the Zachman Framework into a multidimensional Zachman’s Cube.
In the 1987 article "A Framework for Information Systems Architecture" Zachman noted that the term "architecture" was used loosely by information systems professionals, and meant different things to planners, designers, programmers, communication specialists, and others. In searching for an objective, independent basis upon which to develop a framework for information systems architecture, Zachman looked at the field of classical architecture, and a variety of complex engineering projects in industry.
Representations in Mr. Zuech’s interpretation of Zachman row-six consist, largely, of measurable service improvements and cost savings/avoidance that result from the business process and technology innovations that were developed across rows two through five.
Row-six provides measured Return on Investment for Individual Projects and, potentially, for the entire investment portfolio. Without row-six the Zachman Framework only identifies sunk-cost – the row-six ROI permits the framework to measure benefits and to be used in a continuous improvement process, capturing best practices and applying them back through row-two.
