EA on a Page Primer & Modeling Guide — Evidence-Based EA Practice with Linked.Archi¶
This guide introduces the EA on a Page framework as formalised in Linked.Archi, explains how its concepts map to semantic assets, and demonstrates practical modeling through worked examples.
Phase 1 — Understanding EA on a Page¶
What is EA on a Page?¶
EA on a Page is an evidence-based enterprise architecture framework created by Svyatoslav Kotusev, based on empirical research across 27+ organizations. Unlike prescriptive frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman), EA on a Page describes how EA practices actually work rather than prescribing how they should work.
The framework classifies: - 24 EA artifacts into 6 types (the CSVLOD taxonomy) - 3 core EA processes that revolve around those artifacts - 4 maturity stages describing how EA practices evolve - Governance arrangements including architecture tiers and governance bodies
"Enterprise architecture is not a single methodology or framework. It is a collection of specific planning practices that organizations use to align their IT assets with business needs." — Svyatoslav Kotusev, The Practice of Enterprise Architecture (2021)

The CSVLOD Taxonomy — Six Artifact Types¶
EA on a Page classifies all EA artifacts into six general types, forming the acronym CSVLOD:
| Type | Nature | Focus | Scope | Lifecycle | What it provides |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Considerations | Rules | Business | Organization-wide | Permanent | Governance rules — principles, policies, guidelines |
| Standards | Rules | IT | Organization-wide | Permanent | Proven solutions — technology reference models, patterns |
| Visions | Structures | Business | Organization-wide | Long-lived | Future state — capability models, target architectures, roadmaps |
| Landscapes | Structures | IT | Organization-wide | Long-lived | Current state — landscape diagrams, inventories, portfolios |
| Outlines | Changes | Business | Initiative-scoped | Short-lived | Initiative architecture — solution overviews, options assessments |
| Designs | Changes | IT | Project-scoped | Short-lived | Detailed specs — solution designs, preliminary solution designs |
The CSVLOD taxonomy has two orthogonal dimensions for classifying EA artifacts:
Dimension 1 — Nature (what do artifacts describe?):
| Nature | Describes | Question answered | Lifecycle | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rules | General global rules defining an organization | How do we work or want to work? | Permanent, periodically updated | Consistency and homogeneity of planning decisions |
| Structures | High-level structures of an organization | What approximately do we have or want to have? | Permanent, continuously updated | Understand what changes are desirable |
| Changes | Specific proposed incremental changes | What exactly are we going to change right now? | Temporary, then discarded | Plan separate changes in detail |
Dimension 2 — Focus (how do artifacts describe objects?):
| Focus | Language | Stakeholders | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business-Focused | Technology-neutral, plain business language | Business leaders and architects | Communication interfaces between business and IT |
| IT-Focused | Technical, IT-specific language | Architects and IT specialists | Internal IT tools invisible to business |
Business-focused artifacts are always dual — they convey one meaning to business executives and another to architects. IT-focused artifacts are developed by architects alone and are largely invisible to business.

The 24 Artifacts¶
The 24 specific artifacts are distributed across the six CSVLOD types, classified by usage frequency:
| Type | Essential | Common | Uncommon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Considerations | Principles | Policies | Conceptual Data Models, Analytical Reports, Direction Statements |
| Standards | Technology Reference Models, Guidelines | Patterns, IT Principles | Logical Data Models |
| Visions | Business Capability Models, Roadmaps | Target States | Value Chains, Context Diagrams |
| Landscapes | Landscape Diagrams | Inventories, Enterprise System Portfolios, IT Roadmaps | — |
| Outlines | Solution Overviews | Options Assessments | Initiative Proposals |
| Designs | Solution Designs | — | Preliminary Solution Designs |
Usage frequency is based on empirical observation: Essential artifacts are used by the majority of organizations, Common by 25-50%, and Uncommon by 10-25%.
The Three Core Processes¶
EA practices revolve around three distinct but interrelated processes:

TO["Technology Optimization<br/><i>Standards + Landscapes</i>"]
ID["Initiative Delivery<br/><i>Outlines + Designs</i>"]
SP -->|"guides"| TO

style SP fill:#4A90D9,color:#fff
style TO fill:#7BC67B,color:#000
style ID fill:#E8A838,color:#000
| Process | Input Artifacts | Output Artifacts | Participants | Key Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strategic Planning | Business strategy, existing Considerations | Considerations, Visions | Enterprise Architects, Business Leaders, IT Leaders | Where should we invest? What does the target state look like? |
| Technology Optimization | Considerations, Visions | Standards, Landscapes | Enterprise Architects, IT Leaders | What technologies do we have? Which are redundant? What should be standard? |
| Initiative Delivery | All of the above | Outlines, Designs | Solution Architects, Enterprise Architects | What is the best approach? How should the solution be designed? |
Maturity Stages¶
EA on a Page describes four maturity stages based on empirical observation:
| Stage | Name | Processes Established | Artifact Types Mastered |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | No Architecture | None | None |
| 1 | IT Optimization | Technology Optimization | Standards, Landscapes |
| 2 | Solution Delivery | + Initiative Delivery | + Outlines, Designs |
| 3 | Enterprise Architecture | + Strategic Planning | + Considerations, Visions |
The maturity model is descriptive, not prescriptive — it describes what is typically observed, not what should be achieved in a linear progression.
Governance Model¶
EA on a Page describes governance arrangements at three levels:
| Tier Model | Description | Typical Organization |
|---|---|---|
| One-Tier | Single EA team handles all activities | Small organizations, early maturity |
| Two-Tier | Enterprise architects (strategic) + Solution architects (project) | Most common model |
| Three-Tier | + Domain/segment architects between enterprise and solution | Large, complex organizations |

Two-Layer Classification¶
EA on a Page uses two layers for classifying architecture work products:
-
OWL typing — the 6 CSVLOD types are OWL classes (
eaop:Consideration,eaop:Standard,eaop:Vision,eaop:Landscape,eaop:Outline,eaop:Design). Instances are typed with one of these, enabling domain/range constraints on the inter-type relationship properties. -
SKOS classification — the 24 specific artifact types (e.g., Principles, Technology Reference Models, Roadmaps, Solution Designs) are SKOS concepts in the taxonomy. Instances link to them via
eaop:classifiedByTypefor finer-grained classification. Same design pattern aszach:classifiedByCell.

The SKOS taxonomy concept eaoptax:Standards links to the OWL class eaop:Standard via rdfs:seeAlso — they represent the same concept at different modeling levels.
OWL Classes¶
CSVLOD artifact types (for typing instances and constraining relationships):
| Class | Nature | Focus | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
eaop:Consideration |
Rules | Business | Overarching governance imperatives |
eaop:Standard |
Rules | IT | Technical guidelines and reference models |
eaop:Vision |
Structures | Business | Future-state descriptions |
eaop:Landscape |

Inter-Type Relationships¶
Kotusev identifies directional influence relationships between the six CSVLOD types — these describe how artifact types influence each other within an EA practice:

These properties have explicit domain/range and can be used on individual artifacts.

SHACL Validation¶
The eaonapage-shapes.ttl file provides validation rules:
- Completeness: Every artifact must have
artifactScope,artifactLifecycle,artifactNature, andartifactFocus - Consistency: Scope/lifecycle/nature/focus values must match the CSVLOD type
- Process linkage: Every artifact should be linked to a process via
usedInProcess
