Q

How does the Enterprise Continuum promote component reuse

A
  • Organizes reusable components by classifying them
  • Is a virtual repository referencing all assets from ADM
  • Assets can exist in the enterprise or from outside
  • References generic industry reference models (Retail ARTS)
  • References patterns specific to Organization
