Start of the Research on Architecture Principles

In this research, which started in 2007, over 250 organizations have created lists of architecture principles. A lot of that data is open to anyone. Also, the questionnaires that architects, analysts, engineers, and managers have filled in are available to download. With this, the Dragon1 Architecture Principles Research takes off as one of the first transparent and open researches in Business Administration and Information Technology.

The architecture principles data has been categorized into the following types:

  • Enterprise Architecture Principles
  • Business Architecture Principles
  • Informatie Architecture Principles
  • Technology Architecture Principles
  • Security Architecture Principles
  • Reference Architecture Principles
  • Design Principles
  • Every day life principles

The types of architectures the data comes from are (not limited): Reference Architectures, Enterprise Architectures, Project Architectures, Solution Architectures, Business Architectures, Information Architectures, Technology Architectures, and Security Architectures.

The types of subjects, projects, or innovation the principles are about are solutions such as Shared Services Centers, Decentralization, Centralization, Digitizing, Case Management, eGovernment, eHealth, eFulfilment.

The types of organizations the data comes from are: Government, Finance, Banking, Insurance, Retail, Food, Telecom, Education, Industry, and Health Care.

For a list of all open research data on architecture principles in the research, download the questionnaires used to collect the architecture principles (not available anymore). The questionnaires and format of the data collecting are essential to make the data fit for deriving statements. A lot of data shows no use of the theory already, so the effect of using another approach to formulating the data can be measured very well.
