Noun-verb-noun combinations about the subject are triples or assertions. Assertions about broader to narrower meaning of nouns/terms/phrases result in a taxonomy for the subject. Assertions showing equivalence of meaning form a thesaurus. Some assertions show flow or sequence in meaning. Some assertions show composition in meaning. Some assertions show variation in meaning. Some assertions show versioning or change in meaning. Some assertions show description in meaning.<br /><br />All of these assertions would be captured in an architecture. The subject of the architecture is not relevant to the composition of the architecture, only its noun, verb, adjective, and adverb content.Roy Roebuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369632899415560373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782377898467574544.post-26545391343391040782011-10-20T21:08:00.843-04:002011-10-20T21:08:00.843-04:00Your definition of architecture would fit a soluti...Your definition of architecture would fit a solution architecture. How well does it fit the definition of "business architecture", "data architecture", "fleet architecture", etc.Roy Roebuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369632899415560373noreply@blogger.com
