EA Glossary - Contributions and Revision History

To contribute to the Dragon1 glossary, send your email to specs@dragon1.com. Your contribution will be reviewed and evaluated first. Once it is approved and moderated, it is posted here.

Contributions can be a new or updated term, a translation for a term in one of the listed languages, definitions, or icons for a term. You can send in four different icons in four different styles per term: sketch, wireframe, flat 2d (f.i. material design), 3d. For instance, you can provide multiple definitions per term for different contexts.

We do not send notifications or provide any comments on how, when, and why contributions did not make it to publication.

Participation Process

Dragon1 is an open Enterprise Architecture method governed by the Dragon1 Foundation.

If you want to contribute with a new or improved term, definition, translation, or icon to the Dragon1 Glossary Of Terms, you only have to send your contribution, including arguments and/or discussion with others, to specs@dragon1.com. Every contribution will be evaluated.

The terms, definitions, and icons that are provided to us will be checked for copyright violations. If this is not the case, these will be evaluated. As Dragon1 is an open method, all the terms, definitions, and icons need to be free from copyright. Otherwise, it would prevent Dragon 1 from open.

You must provide your SVG icon compliant with the Dragon1 icon standard.

On the resources part of Dragon1, every term has its page detailing and explaining the term and positioning it in the Dragon1 meta-model. Every term is related to other terms. A set of related terms as part of the meta-model is called a package. A link to the related meta-model package is made on every term page.

Here you find a link to the meta model core package: architecture

Evaluation Process

Monthly, the Dragon1 Foundation reviews contributions to the Glossary of Terms.

A group of experienced architects and designers will evaluate the contributions and check if the contribution will improve the meta-model.

If the contribution is approved as an addition or update, it will be published here on the resources part of the site.
