The architecture of an organism's internal structures must allow that organism to thrive within the environment in which it is operating. These \"internal structures\" within an organism might be organs or tissues; in an organization, though, they are the \"information systems\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an organism's environment changes, its internal systems and structures must adapt. We will use this analogy as a starting point to discuss the \"why\" and \"what\" questions of enterprise architecture for information systems in organizations. To begin this process, we must switch from the traditional EA approach of looking only at internal factors, to a new, holistic view that considers the external environment. In other words, while most EA discussions are \"inside-out,\" in this book, we will attempt to go \"outside-in.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCapturing the Organization Organism\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlines a structure for organizations which is common to all organizations, regardless of the enterprise that they are involved with.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses data subject areas from one part of enterprise architecture, the enterprise data model artifact, to describe what is internal and what is external to the organization.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides connections between what is external and what is internal.
