“…They also claim that the majority of the frameworks up to 2006 are abstract formulations and, due to their generality in defining terms, raises questions of the validity or even the ability to do accurate work within that framework. Finally, Zarvic and Wieringa [59] holds that the concept of EA is defined by various sources as the structure of an enterprise's IT systems, or the entire enterprise, or sometimes as an analysis and documentation of this structure rather than the structure itself. Namkyu, Lee and Park [37] describe EA as an integrated model or representation of the enterprise, whereas EAFs describes the fundamental elements of an EA and the relationship between them.…”

In scientific inquiry definitions serves the purpose of describing what something is in terms that are concise, precise and allows for clear communication. Since the start of the enterprise architecture (EA) research field the issue of the definition of terms and fundamental concepts has been continually debated. The ongoing debate is indicative of a lack of universal agreement on EA fundamentals amongst EA researchers and practitioners which, in turn, manifests as a gap in the literature with regard to the underlying fundamental concepts of EA. This paper reports on the results of an investigation into the description of EA's fundamental concepts. During the investigation a structured interpretation method was applied to two prominent enterprise architecture frameworks in order to produce a set of EA propositions that captured the fundamental meaning of EA as a concept. The investigation resulted in the ‗EA claim' that EA is similar, in intent, to the enterprise as a worldview is to the world. The ‗EA claim' and its supportive six EA propositions provide and explicit description of the foundational understanding of what EA is.

“…Various abstraction mechanisms, such as perspectives, viewpoints, areas of concern, dimensions, etc. are used to limit the scope of a certain class of models or principles [11]. This approach can aid understandability and enable easier communication between stakeholders in the organization, which is indeed considered to be an important advantage of descriptive enterprise architecture frameworks.…”

The emerging field of enterprise engineering provides a promising outlook for positioning relevant research. Enterprise Architecture frameworks which are frequently used in practice, but are often criticized from a research perspective, can be positioned in this field. The challenge for the enterprise engineering field is to provide a framework to improve such frameworks using a rigorous scientific approach. This paper aims to contribute to addressing this challenge by proposing components for a research framework which focuses on applying engineering insights to enterprise architecture. It first explores how current enterprise architecture frameworks handle issues relevant for engineering (i.e., complexity, change and integration). It then introduces additional components which could contribute towards a more systematic approach. These components are derived from the way the Normalized Systems Theory was developed, and successfully introduced engineering standards into the design software architecture.
