The Role of Enterprise Governance and Cartography in Enterprise Engineering

ion rules and classification mechanisms so that all of views are consistent. The cartography of dynamic objects also requires to abstract the rules that constrain how objects change and relate to each other over time. Enterprise cartography deals with the dynamic design and production of architectural views that depict the components of an organisation and their dependencies. It shares its constructs with enterprise architecture, such as meta-models, models, views, repositories, frameworks, and design rules. However, its goal is descriptive. A view expresses the architecture of a system from the perspective of concerns defined by its stakeholders. Views are defined by viewpoints, which establish the conventions for the construction, interpretation and use of architecture views (ISO/IEC/IEEE 2011; The Open Group 2009). Figure 3), taken from the TOGAF 9 specification, illustrates the basic relationships between these concepts. The following principles distinguish cartography from enterprise architecture. Principle 1 Enterprise cartography uses observations to produce the representations of an organisation. The process of organisational data collection is a core concern of enterprise cartography. Data collection is not a concern of the mainstream approaches to enterprise
