Abstract :
Many Enterprise Architecture Frameworks (EAFs) are in use today to guide or serve as a model for the enterprise architecture development. Researchers offer general comparative information about EAF. However, there has been little work on the quality of Enterprise Architecture (EA). This study provides the characteristics of the five EAFs using comparative analysis based on Enterprise Architecture Quality Attributes (EAQAs). The attribute of EA quality was extracted from the EAFs and the definition of EAQA was defined from EA user viewpoint. The criteria for each quality attribute were developed to compare EAFs using four dimensional concepts. This paper compared several frameworks using the criteria to provide guidance in the selection of an EAF that meets the quality requirement of EA.
