Abstract:
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an important organization issue. The EA, resulting from a development process, is an important tool in different situations. It is used as a communication tool between the systems stakeholders. It is an enabler of changes. More importantly, the EA definition allows the build of unifying or coherent forms or structures. There has been growing interest in this topic topic area in recent years. Several authors have proposed methods, frameworks, languages with the aim of helping organizations in the process of EA definition. This paper proposes a software tool that can be used to re-use experience in EA definition processes. The tool proposed is independent of the framework, method, language or software tool used in the EA description process.
