Description

An integrated view of the information system has been an objective to deal with complexity. However, bibliography proposes many solutions with many synonyms depending on the layer, methodology, framework or tool used, that does not allow a broad view of the system. In this work we chose three basic elements of the information systems and we demonstrate how they are enough to integrate a set of essential UML diagrams. The proposed model firstly defines a set of UML diagrams for each layer of the Enterprise Architecture, and then heuristic rules are detailed in order to ensure vertical and horizontal alignment.
