体系架构（Enterprise Architecture, EA）的开山之作，之前一直引用，从来没有系统的学习，通过翻译加深理解，与感兴趣的朋友一起学习探讨。利用相似的模式对数据（第一列）、流程（第二列）进行解读后，继续展开说明第三列——网络（位置）的描述。
翻译中有一些是自己的理解，不对的地方大家多多指正。
网络（位置）描述的结构呈现
Architectural representation describingthe network
图2中关于网络（位置）描述列中的架构呈现模式是“节点-连接-节点”。
The descriptive model for the network setof architectural representations in the network description column of Figure 2is “node-line-node.”
从范围呈现（ballpark）的角度来看，一般呈现形式为业务运营的地点列表。这里，“节点”将意味着业务位置，可以是个抽象的位置，但并不会说明该位置的具体细节。这些位置可以分布在地图或不同的地理位置。它们之间的连线主要是表明地点之间的通信或物流连接。网络（位置）描述的范围呈现的主要目的是支撑决策者，选择系统（硬件/软件）实际的部署位置。
From the scope description (ballpark)perspective, what could be expected is a list of locations in which thebusiness operates. Therefore, “node” would mean business location, likely at ahigh level of aggregation, that is, showing little detail about the “contents”of the location. The locations might even be arranged on a map, a geographicalconstruct. If lines were shown, they would probably merely indicate where thereare communications or logistics connections between the locations. The purposeserved, once again, is the strategy/resource investment decision in which themain decision is to select the subset of locations in which to actually locatetechnology (hardware/software).
