If Charles Babbage is the father of computing and Grace Hopper the mother of applications programming then surely John A. Zachman is the father of enterprise architecture. Indeed, you can barely find a credible architecture book that doesn’t pay homage to the Zachman framework. You may you love it or hate it or may have just grown to accept it, but you can’t deny its significance, it is perhaps the single most significant EA artefact ever created. And it may just be that when we look back in the fullness of time we will have to agree, that despite all its frustrations and ambiguities it is indeed the periodic table of information systems planning that John so often claimed.
I have had the pleasure of meeting John once and was more than a little entertained by tales and enthusiasm and I can only say how sad I am that it has come to this.
