The Entity Card

Blog: Achieving Business Outcome With Enterprise Architecture

Whatever business you are in, information is the most important raw material there is and it should be understood by many. Using tools like the entity card is one way of communicating on relatively stable information structures, there are other ways. People may say this is hard and takes a lot of time todo. To them I would recommend that they think about the basic information used in the business and evaluate for how long the average entity has been around. My experience is that most entities within a business domain has been around at least +80% of the lifetime of that domain. Changes to the entity is almost always on business rule or attribute details.
