Disseminate Architecture Standards with drawings
The baseline standardsIdealisticly, standardardization intend to bring every system in the organization to standard, but in reality, standard only serve as the baseline standard and allow certain variation from the baseline under a control enviroment.
Baseline Standard Drawings
A baseline enviroment is the snap shot of the enterprise at one point of time. It serve the purpose as the break point for architecture planning and IT managment. The baseline enviroment does not only contain the technology baseline but also the application and data. Traditionally, an enterprise baseline is presented with a volume of report generated from configuation managment database. This type of baseline report is only good to statify the auditors and it become shelware with very little practical use. LEA suggest to use engineering drawing to present the baseline as showing in the following example.

Reuse by common patterns
LEA achieve agility, simplicity and cost efficiency by the engineering of reuse which is based on patterns and standardization. The scope of patterns and standards is not limited to technology standards and patterns, it encompass line of business, business processes, applicaiton, data and technologies.Many EA efforts practice reuse in a stovepipe approach to conduct pattern recognition within the enterprise. LEA suggest to learn the experience of the others based on the same line of business.
The industry has practice reuse by standardization. It is some thing easy to say but difficult to realize. Standardization is similar the laws in the community. It is must be established for a good reason rather than standardization for the sake of looks good. ^ TOP

Technology standards.
EA establish technology standards for the engineering of reuse and interoperability. Technical Reference Model has be used to organiz technology standards. It contain all the technology domain from presentatiion layer, application layer, data layer, network layer and platform layer and security layer. LEA prototype the flowing interactive Technical Reference Model.
