The diagram to the left was created in the late 1989s and is called the Zachman Framework. It is an architecture of an Enterprise Architecture Framework.
An implementation of an Entrerise framework was created over a period of about 25 years by Whitemarsh. It contains more than 500 database tables. While essentialy similar in scope and intent with the Zachman Architecture Framework Whitemarsh's implementation is much broader and more sophiscated.
Implemented by Enterprises, this framework-based Enterprise Management System, called the Metabase System resides at a level above the traditional Enterprise operational systems such as Finance, HR, and/or Manufacturing.
