Enterprise architecture at work (3^rd Ed., Softcover reprint of the original 3rd ed. 2013) Modelling, Communication and Analysis The Enterprise Engineering Series

The unambiguous specification and description of components and their relationships in such an architecture requires a coherent architecture modelling language.
