A Mapping of Individual Architecture Frameworks (GRAI, PERA, C4ISR, CIMOSA, ZACHMAN, ARIS) onto GERAM

This Chapter presents the mapping of selected type 2 (life cycle) enterprise architectures and architecture frameworks onto the Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (GERAM) framework. It covers aspects regarding the reference architectures (including life cycle / life history concepts and modelling frameworks) and associated modelling methodologies, languages and reference models where applicable. The Chapter builds on previous mapping efforts of established frameworks, giving a refined interpretation of those results. In addition, several emerging frameworks are also reviewed and mapped against the GERAM.
