Complete Enterprise Data Architecture Framework: Business, Logical, Physical Layers with Real Templates

Most enterprises build data architectures one layer at a time. Business, logical, and physical layers exist as separate artefacts owned by separate teams. That separation is the structural gap that makes data estates ungovernable.
