Enterprise architecture
“A comprehensive framework used to manage
and align an organization's Information Technology
(IT) assets, people, operations, and projects with its
operational characteristics. In other words, the
enterprise architecture defines how information and
technology will support the business operations and
provide benefit for the business.”

Notes de l'éditeur The point here is that there are lots of definitions of enterprise architecture. This one was fairly succinct. The key is that it is a framework. When we look at organizations, we create a “domain model”. That domain model attempts to understand how people, systems, processes and organizing principles work together. This helps when developing new applications, integrating systems and improving the user experience when they interact with both structured and unstructured information Content Choreography: Speak to definition on Slide 2 – other points are background for Q&A onlyDefinition: Earley & Associate’s proprietary methodology for dynamic web content presentation and search result relevancyBusiness Value: Provides a repeatable set of processes and frameworks for ensuring that retrieved content is relevant, fresh, and interesting without requiring custom crafting and manual maintenance of web pagesKey Enablers: Taxonomy, metadata, semantic search, business logic, auto-classification
