"An architecture is the response to the integrated collections of models and views within the problem area being examined." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
"An architecture represents combined perspectives in a structured format that is easily viewable and explains the context of the area being analyzed to all those viewing it." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
"Analyzing and defining an area must be done prior to doing any activity within that area. Without understanding all that must be done, incorrect assumptions can be reached. Short-term vision may handicap future development. Inappropriate scoping may produce artificial boundaries where there should be none." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
"Data architecture allows strategic development of flexible modular designs by insulating the data from the business as well as the technology process." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
"Methodologies provide guidelines for the application development process. They specify analysis and design techniques as well as the stages in which they occur. They also develop event sequencing. Lastly, they specify milestones and work products that must be created and the appropriate documentation that should be generated." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
"Data architectures are the heart of business functionality. Given the proper data architecture, all possible functions can be completed within the enterprise easily and expeditiously." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
"Processes that use data change far more frequently than the data structures themselves." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
"The enterprise architecture delineates the data according to the inherent structure within the organization rather than by organizational function or use. In this manner it makes the data dependent on business objects but independent of business processes." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
"Using architecture leads to foundational stability, not rigidity. As long as the appropriate characteristics are in place to ensure positive architectural evolution, the architecture will remain a living construct. Well-developed architectures are frameworks that evolve as the business evolves." (Charles D Tupper, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality", 2011)
