Zachman’s Framework

it provides a systematic way to categorize and understand an organization's architecture.

John Zachman

Creator of Zachman’s Frame work. in the 1980s while he was at ibm and has been updated several times since to remain relevant

The interrogatives

these are the six primitive questions used to view the enterprise: What, How, When, Who, Where, and Why.

Reification transformation

this tracks the transformation of an abstract idea into a real thing. Identification, definition, representation, specification, configuration and instantiation

Matrix Format

a 6 x 6 grid (table) with 36 cells composed of rows represents the stakeholder perspectives and columns as interrogatives

OBJECT ORIENTED MODELING AND DESIGN

method of analyzing and designing systems by representing real

OBJECT ORIENTED (OO)

means that we organize software as a collection of discrete objects that incorporate both data structure and behavior

IDENTITY

Identity means that data is quantized into discrete, distinguishable entities called objects.

CLASSIFICATION

means that objects with the same data structure (attributes) and behavior (operations) are grouped into a class.

INHERITANCE

is the sharing of attributes and operations among classes based on a hierarchical relationship.

POLYMORPHISM

means that the same operation may behave differently for different classes.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

is a structured set of activities used to create software or system in an organized and systematic way

Database Management System

is a software system used to store, organize, manage, and retrieve large amounts of engineering data efficiently.

Automated Data Discovery

is the process of automatically finding useful information from large datasets.

Data Warehouse

collects data from different sources into one central place, where it is organized for easy analysis.

Data Mining

process of extracting hidden, useful, and predictive information from large datasets by identifying patterns, relationships, and correlations.

Classification

builds models to sort data into different categories. The model is trained on data with known labels and is then used to predict labels for unknown data.

Regression

It is used to predict continuous values, like prices or temperatures, based on past data. There are two main types:

Clustering

It helps discover hidden patterns in the data by organizing objects into clusters where items in each cluster are more similar to each other than to those in other clusters

Association rule

generates rules from the data and uses them to build a model for predictions

Anomaly detection

aims to identify rare or unusual data instances that deviate significantly from the expected patterns.

Time series analysis

It focuses on analyzing and predicting data points collected over time.

Decision trees

Graphical models that use a tree

Neural networks

A type of machine learning inspired by the human brain's structure and function

Web Cons (Web Based Construction System)

a digital platform used to manage construction projects online. It allows engineers, contractors, and project managers to store, access, and share project information such as plans, schedules, reports, and updates in one centralized system.

System design

is the planning of the system, while the development process is the step

Front End

User Interface and displays the project status, reports and dashboards, the visible part of the sytem.

Back End

The part of the system that works behind the scenes to process data and commands.

Database/Data Storage

The place where all information is stored and organized

 class model

represents the static, structural, “data” aspects of a system.

 state model

represents the temporal, behavioral, “control” aspects of a system.

 interaction model

represents the collaboration of individual objects of a system.
