Architecture Principles Research Data

Start of the Research on Architecture Principles

In this research, which started in 2007, over 250 organizations have created lists of architecture principles. A significant amount of that data is publicly available to anyone. Also, the questionnaires completed by architects, analysts, engineers, and managers are available for download. With this, the Dragon1 Architecture Principles Research takes off as one of the first transparent and open research in Business Administration and Information Technology.

The architecture principles data has been categorized into the following types:

  • Enterprise Architecture Principles
  • Business Architecture Principles
  • Informatie Architecture Principles
  • Technology Architecture Principles
  • Security Architecture Principles
  • Reference Architecture Principles
  • Design Principles
  • Every day life principles

The types of architectures the data comes from are (not limited to): Reference Architectures, Enterprise Architectures, Project Architectures, Solution Architectures, Business Architectures, Information Architectures, Technology Architectures, and Security Architectures.

The types of subjects, projects, or innovations the principles are about are solutions such as Shared Services Centers, Decentralization, Centralization, Digitizing, Case Management, eGovernment, eHealth, eFulfilment.

The types of organizations the data comes from are: Government, Finance, Banking, Insurance, Retail, Food, Telecom, Education, Industry, and Health Care.

For a list of all open research data on architecture principles in the research, download the questionnaires used to collect the architecture principles (not available anymore). The questionnaires and data collection format are crucial for ensuring the data is suitable for deriving meaningful statements. A significant amount of data already indicates that the theory is not in use, allowing the effect of an alternative approach to be measured very well.
