Domains represent the highest level of classification within the business architecture framework. Each Domain encompasses a specific area of the business, such as Strategy, Capabilities, Value Streams, Policy, Organization, Information, or Performance. Domains serve as containers for all relevant information and activities related to that aspect of the business. They are the foundational pillars that organize and categorize the business’s critical components.

Domain entity

A domain entity is a discrete, identifiable unit of structured information that represents a meaningful concept within a specific business architecture domain. Each domain entity—such as a capability, strategy, product, value stream, policy, or stakeholder—encapsulates key attributes, relationships, and sub-elements relevant to that domain. Domain entities serve as the foundational building blocks for modelling how an organisation functions, plans, and delivers value.

Attributes

Attributes provide context and additional descriptive information within a Domain. These characteristics help to define and distinguish one Element from another. For example, in a Capability Domain, Attributes may include the complexity level, strategic importance, associated stakeholders, and resource requirements. Attributes ensure that each Element has a unique identity and purpose, adding depth to the analysis.

Some Domains contain multiple Elements and their Sub-Elements, while others like Policy only contain Attributes.
