Excerpt
Excerpt With increasing size and complexity of the implementations of information systems, it is necessary to use some logical construct (ora rchitecture) for defining and controlling the interfaces and the integration of all of the components of the system. This paper defines information systems architecture by creating a descriptive framework from disciplines quite independent of information systems, then by analogy specifies information systems architecture based upon the neutral, objective framework. Also, some preliminary conclusions about the implications of the resultant
descriptive framework are drawn.
[...]
The increased scope of design and levels of complexity of information systems implementations are forcing the use of some logical construct (or architecture) for defining and controlling the interfaces and the integration of all of the components of the system. |

All EAs arguably have as their goal to manage the things mentioned in this claim. This is not novel, regardless of whether one proposes 3, 10 or 100 levels. The Zachman framework of 1987 already covered this ground, so did all the derivative frameworks created in the intervening 23 years.
