Defines the Framework individual and the properties used to link Zachman Cells
to their Aspect (column) and Perspective (row). The SKOS taxonomy of concepts
is in the companion file zachman-tax.ttl.

The Zachman Framework is not a methodology — it is a classification schema for
organizing descriptive representations of an enterprise.

in 1987. A two-dimensional classification schema formed by the intersection of
six primitive communication interrogatives and six reification transformations,
producing a bounded 6x6 matrix of 36 cells. Each cell represents a primitive
descriptive representation of the enterprise. It is not a methodology — it does
not prescribe a process for creating artifacts, but rather classifies the complete
logical space of descriptive representations of an enterprise.'''@en ;
