There are two main different meanings and definitions for this term:
Definition 1: An Architecture Framework is a basic structure (like a method) grouping types of architectures that are filled with a set of key parts and tools, such as capabilities, concepts, principles, objects, reference models, and view types, which can be used for documenting architectures efficiently and effectively and developing a broad range of different architectures and solutions as part of the architecture. Dragon1 and TOGAF are examples of these kind of Architecture Frameworks.
Definition 2: The overview, skeleton, or structure of the architecture of a structure and its sub-architectures. This structure reveals the parts or components of the architectural framework. For instance, what sub-architectures are recognized, and for what sub-architectures are architecture principles and visualizations available as defined? The visualization on the top right of this page is an example diagram of this second meaning.
