Architecture Metadata Layer

The Architecture Meta-Data layer covers the administrative aspects of the architecture, such as who created it, for whom and when. Each architecture view is itemised and may be traced back to individual stakeholder concerns. Versions of architecture descriptions may be tracked and the planning (architecture roadmap) can also be captured in the Architecture Meta-Data layer.
