Roles in Enterprise Architecture
EPA has established an Enterprise Architecture (EA) as part of a federal-wide effort to improve management of information resources. The EA helps tie EPA’s business and applications/systems and infrastructure back to their reason for existence which is to support the mission of the enterprise.
- The system inventory services provide a comprehensive inventory of applications/systems as required by the EA.
- Data registry services provide reusable data elements and metadata for system developers thus supporting the EA’s data architecture.
- The reusable component services provide efficient reuse of elements that support a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
- The terminology services provide reusable terms and definitions for the development of controlled vocabularies and pick-lists.
