Using the ODP reference model for Enterprise Architecture

The Open Distributed Processing Reference Model (ODP-RM) provides viewpoints and abstract infrastructure guidelines that can be used for a basis for enterprise architecture, especially for an inter-enterprise architecture. The ODP-RM does not prescribe methodology for modeling itself, but provides common vocabulary and focus for description. This paper performs a brief analysis of the ODP-RM (and Pilarcos extensions to it) in terms of defining enterprise architecture. Special attention is given to potential to provide support for consistency enforcing between viewpoints, analysis of model properties, and interaction between business and technology needs.
