ISO/IEC 42010:2007

Systems and software engineering — Recommended practice for architectural description of software-intensive systems

ISO/IEC 42010:2007 addresses the activities of the creation, analysis and sustainment of architectures of software-intensive systems, and the recording of such architectures in terms of architectural descriptions. ISO/IEC 42010:2007 establishes a conceptual framework for architectural description and defines the content of an architectural description. Annexes provide the rationale for key concepts and terminology, the relationships to other standards, and examples of usage.
