Enterprise Architecture Reference Model

Dragon1, as an open EA Method, defines a reference model for enterprise architecture.

You can re-use this reference model to make it part of your enterprise meta-model on Dragon1. And of course, you can alter the reference model to your theory about enterprise architecture modeling strategy.

Below you see the most recent version of the Dragon1 Enterprise Architecture Reference model.
