EA metamodel: two questions
Following on from the previous work on EA metamodels, I keep coming back to those two questions from Graeme Burnett: for everything in a context, we need to be able to ask “tell me about yourself?” and “tell me what …

What’s the point of this ‘EA metamodel’?
I’ve been writing a lot recently about metamodels for enterprise-architecture and the like: but what’s the point? Why bother? Why all this fuss about something that’s way too technical to be of interest to almost anyone in the real workaday world? …
EA metamodel – the big picture (and the small picture too)
In the various previous posts about EA metamodels, we’ve been exploring some of the detailed structures for toolsets and the like at a very, very low-level. But what’s the big-picture here? What’s the point? So let’s step back for a …

EA metamodel – a possible structure
What would this ‘generic modelling metamodel’ look like? And how could we implement it? This continues the work from previous posts on this theme, such as ‘More detail on EA metamodel‘ and ‘EA metamodel and method‘. The legal bit: The …
EA metamodel and method
How would this EA metamodel actually work? And why would we need it, given that we have more than enough frameworks and models already? This follows on from the earlier post ‘More detail on EA metamodel‘, and in particular part …
More detail on EA metamodel
Moving on to more detail on that EA metamodel. (By the way, a quick thank-you to Nic Plum and Sally Bean for really helpful peer-reviews on this. 🙂 ) The legal bit: There’s a heck of a lot of unpaid work …
Back to the roots for EA toolset metamodels
Time to get back to the themes from the post ‘More on that enterprise-architecture ‘help wanted’‘, with a focus on toolsets and metamodels. The usual approach to toolsets – just about any kind of toolset, as far as I can …
More metamodel stuff
Over the past few weeks and months I’ve been hammering away at ideas for metamodels (or metametamodels) for enterprise architecture, with the longer-term aim of triggering development of an Open Source-style enterprise architecture toolset. So I’ve taken some time off …
'Bindedness' in metamodels
A long post-TOGAF conversation on Friday with enterprise architect and academic Erik Proper brought up the question of what I’ve been calling ‘bindedness’ in metamodels and compliance reference models for enterprise architecture. In conventional models and metamodels, links between items …
Meanderings on metamodels
Been spending the past couple of days thinking long and hard about what’s needed for an Open Source kind of enterprise architecture toolset. On the one side, there’s the work by people such as Charles Edwards and others at Agile …
