In enterprise architecture (EA) an artifact is one of many kinds of tangible products used in the definition and development of an enterprise architecture, that are used to describe the dimensions of the enterprise and its assets, capabilities and resources in its current or potential future form.
Artifacts include 'definition artifacts', those that define the dimensions of an enterprise in the form of: - models, diagrams, matrices, databases, documents
Artifacts will also include 'development artifacts' which are the products that are used in the creation and management of the definition artifacts including: - business cases, project plans and reviews
Artifacts are used to define the different dimensions of the enterprise covering the enterprise's assets, resources and capabilities.
Where EA has been focused on IT in support of the enterprise, the definition artifacts will describe those business and IT assets that form the domain of interest to IT in support of the enterprise and would include:
- on the business side - business products, business services, business organization (and people), business processes, business information, business geography (locations, business technology;
- on the IT side to support the business side - IT products, IT services, IT technology (applications, IT infrastructure and management tools), IT organization (and people), IT processes, IT knowledge products.
Where EA is more broadly considered as a true enterprise development approach, the definition artifacts will describe additional assets including:
- IPR, brands, reputation, customers, markets and their outlets, suppliers, shareholders, legal and fiscal capabilities
