John Zachman is Dead, Long Live John Zachman

An interesting blog post by a Gartner Analyst on the future of the Zachman along with some interesting observations:

Keep a pragmatic focus on your EA efforts and don’t get distracted by the rumblings, and posturing, of one framework proponent versus another
Realize that any particular EA framework should provide a consistent organizing structure for enterprise architectural concepts and should not simply be followed as a rigid process or set of rules.
Choose source frameworks quickly, recognizing which one is primary as an input to the development and categorization of your EA artifact and your EA program.
Modify and enhance the framework , as required, to support your EA program.
Do not attempt to follow a single framework rigidly. Its job is to provide a consistent organizing structure for enterprise architectural concepts, and it should be used pragmatically.
