Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA)
(Context: Enterprise Architecture)
Government and government services are normally information driven. Government organizations constantly and dynamically gather and process data to create information needed to support their missions, whether it is disaster recovery, environmental protection, citizen security or other direct services. The Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA) provides the framework/model and methodology that will enhance each agency’s ability to quickly discover, access and understand data and create the information needed to make critical decisions and support agency business functions.
The EIA is designed to provide a common framework for the cost-effective sharing of government information across organizational lines while respecting the security, privacy and appropriate use of that information. It must enable agency leaders to manage information as a Commonwealth asset to better serve the citizens of Virginia. It increases the Commonwealth’s agility in drawing out the value of information as a strategic mission asset.
