To provide a holistic perspective on the enterprise over time, EA frameworks need to co-evolve with the changes in the enterprise and its IT over time. In this paper the authors focus on the emergence of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). There is a need to integrate SOA with EA to keep EA relevant and to use EA products to help drive successful SOA. This paper investigates and compares the integration of SOA elements in five widely used EA frameworks: Archimate, The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF), Department of Defence Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). It identifies what SOA elements are considered and their relative position in the overall structure. The results show that services and related elements are far from being well-integrated constructs in current EA frameworks and that the different EA frameworks integrated SOA elements in substantially different ways. The results can support the academic EA and SOA communities with a closer and more consistent integration of EA and SOA and support practitioners in identifying an EA framework that provides the SOA support that matches their requirements.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jiit.2013040105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,20]],"date-time":"2013-06-20T16:14:11Z","timestamp":1371744851000},"page":"54-70","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["A Comparative Analysis of the Integration of SOA Elements in Widely-Used Enterprise Architecture Frameworks"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Ayed","family":"Alwadain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Science and Engineering, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD, Australia, & King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Erwin","family":"Fielt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Science and Engineering, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD, Australia"}]},{"given":"Axel","family":"Korthaus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management and Information Systems, Victoria University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Rosemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Science and Engineering, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD, Australia"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jiit.2013040105-0","unstructured":"Beimborn, D., Joachim, N., & Muenstermann, B.
