An architecture is the most important, pervasive, top-level, strategic inventions, decisions, and their associated rationales about the overall structure (i.e., essential elements and their relationships) and associated characteristics and behavior

A formal description of a system, or a detailed plan of the system at a component level to guide its implementation or the structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time

A rigorous description of the structure of an enterprise, which comprises enterprise components (business entities), the externally visible properties of those components, and the relationships (e.g. the behavior) between them

Architecture is the use of abstractions and models to simplify and communicate complex structures and processes to improve understanding and forecasting

The fundamental organization of a system, embodied in its components, their relationships to each other and the environment, and the principles governing its design and evolution
