A Zachman Cube

The Zachman Framework (ZF) is a matrix of distinct stakeholder perspectives and unique concerns or aspects of information system architecture. This work suggests how the ZF can be extended into a multidimensional Zachman’s Cube. We illustrate its use with a set of UML usage styles, but one can choose other global system dimensions—for example,
