Topics to Consider

You may want to examine these additional topics:

• In the UML, there are less commonly used relationships. Explore the “realize” association.

• Frameworks are available that organizations have followed to build their application and enterprise architectures. These frameworks, such as Zachman, for example, provide best practices, standards, and guidance for building architectures.

• Investigate how you might do component modeling in additional detail to include the inner workings of the application and all the components needed.
