Why the Web 2.0 infrastructure needs architects - Part I.

Wednesday, 09 January 2008

This blog entry is cross-blogged between the VNA website and my own blog site. I like to keep my blog entries, as well as my comments to other people’s blogs, accessible through my personal blog site. The result is that people will be entering comments on different locations. Even more, since Plaxo also includes these blogs in my pulse stream, people can even respond to my blogs in plaxo, and I have noticed that these comments do not automatically show up on the original blog sites. Of course one might argue that "cross blogging" should not be done, but at the same time I think it is a defendable stance that I should be able to publish my blog (and their comments) through multiple channels.

This actually triggered me into realising that the Web 2.0 needs information architects. Of course, when an enterprise considers utilizing Web 2.0 technologies an enterprise architect should be involved in deciding-on/designing the best way of doing this. However, I also think the technology itself needs more architecting, or at least some good old conceptual thinking.

Three perspectives on architecture

Thursday, 13 December 2007
When looking at the different types of interpretations of what enterprise architecture is, I believe there are three main perspectives on what architecture is about: a regulation-oriented perspective, a design-oriented perspective and a patterns-oriented perspective. In my opinion, talking about architecture only makes sense when acknowledging the complementary role of each of these perspectives rather than limiting the definition of architecture to merely one of these perspectives.
