The Enterprise Reference Architecture Process enables the University of Washington to establish reference architectures. Reference architectures are documents that guide decision-making to maximize architectural value within a defined scope. The process determines the scope, authority, and applicability of each reference architecture, guides its drafting and approval, and ensures its publication, use, and eventual retirement.
