The Content Frameworkis best thought of as a categorization framework. The primary purpose of the Content Framework is to structure the work products and models that make up the architecture and to describe the architecture products used in an organization. It promotes consistency and coherence in the deliverables produced by following the phases of the Architecture Development Method. The Content Framework – in its extended form – also provides a comprehensive checklist of architecture deliverablesthat can be produced and reduces the risk of gaps in the final architecture deliverables. In other words, the Content Framework helps an organization use standard architecture concepts, terms, and deliverables.
