What is Technology Architecture (TA)?
“a coherent whole of principles, methods, and models that are used in the design and realization of an enterprise’s organizational structure, business processes, information systems, and infrastructure”. (The ArchiMate Foundation)
When trying to define a business, it is critical to understand the context of the business such as the following to ensure that those who are involved have a clear understanding of the business, their roles and responsibilities.
Enterprise Context Model (ECM) is a Business Architecture artifact that provides a single view of the key stakeholders involved in the business. It also establishes a framework to further breakdown and understand the business.
Here is my attempt to come up with an ECM for City of Edmonton’s Graffiti Management Program.
Refer to “Architecture for the Business – By the Business” presentation by I&IT (Office of the Corporate Chief Technology Office) if you are interested in learning more about Business Architecture and ECM.
Here is a Conceptual Data Model that I produced for an Enterprise Architecture Certification course I took at University of Toronto. My attempt was to create a Conceptual Data model: Entity Relationship Diagram for City of Edmonton’s Graffiti Management Program, based on the information I found on their program website.

Saw this on my facebook newsfeed this morning. Can’t agree more!
My new project – Hand stitched, One of a Kind Owl Key Chains!
Let me know what you think!
Go for long walks,
Indulge in hot baths,
Question your assumptions,
Be kind to yourself,
Live for the moment,
Loosen up, SCREAM,
Curse the world,
Count your blessings,
Just let go,
Just be.
~Carol Shields
Dear Friend,
Stand Tall and Proud
Sink your roots deeply into the Earth
Reflect the light of a greater source
Think long term
Go out on a limb
Remember your place among all living beings
Embrace with joy the changing seasons
For each yields its own abundance
The Energy and Birth of Spring
The Growth and Contentment of Summer
The Wisdom to let go of leaves in the Fall
The Rest and Quiet Renewal of Winter
Missing somebody?…………….Call
Wanna meet up?………………..Invite
Wanna be understood?………Explain
Have questions?…………………Ask
Don’t like something?………..Say it
Like something?…………………State it
Want something?……………….Ask for it
Love someone?………………….Tell it
We just have one life.
Keep It Simple.
