Terminology

Here context is information technology not construction industry. Here are some terms most frequently used and their meaning IMHO.

Architect: Person responsible for defining architecture and its description.

Architecture artifact: Anything which describes some part or asepct of an architecture. For an example: models, analysis document, a report or any other document contributing in description of an architecture.

Architecture description: Set of artifacts documenting an architecture.

Architecture framework: A guide/structured information that suggests artifacts to be created and their relationship with each other.

Architecture methodology: An structured approach towards architecture. Methodologies were often defined and used to solve problems in an area.

Architecture process: Steps to produce architecture description and architecture.

Architecture taxonomy: A way to categorize and organize architecture artifacts.

Architecture: Organization of a system, its components and their relationship (to each other and their environment). Guiding principles on which system will be structured and will evolve.
