Enterprise architecture (EA) is a well-defined practice for conducting enterprise analysis, design, planning, and implementation, using a comprehensive approach at all times, for the successful development and execution of strategy.
![Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise architecture is the organizing logic for business processes and IT infrastructure reflecting the
integration and standardization requirements of the company's operating model.

- 4. Information System Architecture (ISA) The ISA description is a key step in ensuring that IT provides access to data when, where and how is required at business level. -Spewak in Spewak et. al. (1992) Enterprise Information Systems (EISs) are the key IT assets for industrial enterprises to organize, plan, schedule, and control their business processes. An ISA consists of core telecommunications networks, databases and data warehouses, software, hardware, and procedures managed by various specialists. Information Systems Architecture focuses on identifying and defining the applications and data considerations that support an enterprise's Business Architecture; for example, by defining views that relate to information, knowledge, application services 4

- 6. Benefits of ISA ● IS complexity and interfaces cost reduction (Cook 1996), Spewak et. al. (1992). ● Ensures IS flexible, durable and business oriented (Zijden et. al. 2000) . ● Allows the evolution and introduction of new technologies according to the strategy of the business plan (Cook 1996), (Spewak et. al. 1992). ● Provides the means for business, IS and IT components alignment (Zijden et. al. 2000) . ● Ensures greater efficiency using IT, namely by providing: a controlled development and maintenance cost, more application portability, and more flexibility in changing and upgrading technological components (Open 2003). 6
- 7. Attributes of ISA The accuracy and suitability of an architecture is analysed considering several quality attributes. Bass (1998) and Clements (2002) propose the following: Usability Modifiability Performance Portability Reliability Variability Security Conceptual Integrity Functionality Building simplicity 7

ISA - Nepal Government Enterprise Architecture Information System Architecture Data Architecture: The objective of creation of the government data architecture is to maintain an adaptable infrastructure designed to facilitate data access, definition, exchange, management, security & integrity at the enterprise level. Data Reference Model: The Data Reference Model (DRM) provides a structure that facilitates the development of government data that can be effectively shared across govt. organization & unit boundaries for better & effective government service delivery improve decision-making and improve mission performance. 8

- 10. Data Architecture Principles ● Data is an Asset ● Data is shared ● Data is created, accessible and shareable ● Data has an owner/trustee ● Data has security and permission 10
- 11. Baseline Data Architecture Data Classification Scheme: capturing the enterprise conceptual data architecture for the Government Enterprise Architecture (GEA) of Nepal Logical Data Components: The logical grouping of data components within each subject area provides a boundary zone that encapsulates related data entities to form a logical grouping. Creation of logical data components groups data entities into encapsulated modules for governance, security, and deployment purposes. Conceptual Data Model: The conceptual data model provides a specification of the highest-level data entities that support Govt. of Nepal business processes and it relevance from data sharing & exchange perspective across the interoperability framework. 11
