Stakeholder oriented enterprise architecture modelling

The enterprise architecture (EA) is defined as a coherent and consistent set of principles and rules that guides system design. In the EA modelling methods, an enterprise is identified with institution, business or administrative unit, a firm or an industrialized region. Beyond that, EA can be considered as a set of organizational attributes or activities. In this paper, the human roles' approach for EA development is emphasized. The paper is to answer the question of who is the stakeholder of EA, who is competent and responsible for the EA planning and development, and what activities must be realized to achieve the EA goals. At first, the paper presents the EA as a product and a process, next the EA evaluation characteristics are discussed. Finally, the EA modelling tool, i.e., ArchiMate is applied for stakeholder role visualizaton.
