Enterprise architecture

Enterprise architecture work of the National digital library was launched in March 2009 and completed at the beginning of March 2010. This document describes the project’s enterprise architecture (EA) using the EA architecture design method for Finnish government.

The project’s enterprise architecture describes how the various elements—organisational units, people, processes, information and information systems—relate to each other and function as a whole. Enterprise architecture is subdivided into four areas: business architecture, data architecture, application architecture and technical architecture. Business architecture describes the project’s services, stakeholders and processes. Data architecture describes the key glossaries being used, the central information resources and the relationship between information categories and systems. Application architecture describes the content of the information system portfolio. Technical architecture describes the technology portfolio, reference architectures and interfaces.

The standard portfolio appended to the document contains key information from the EA perspective; here the standards used in the project are defined and the grounds given for incorporating them as part of the enterprise architecture.
