Zachman Definition

"List of Locations in which the Business Operates"

This is simply a list of locations in which the Enterprise operates, or relates to - the "universe of discourse" relative to location.  It is probably adequate that this list is at a fairly high level of aggregation.  It defines the scope, or boundaries, of the models of locations that are connected by the Enterprise and are found in Rows 2-4.

The UML notation that may be used to indicate location is 'node' that although primarily designed to show run-time computational resources and their communication resources, may be used at the Enterprise level to show geographical locations.

Use Select Asset Manager to create and model the location nodes.  These location nodes may be enhanced with Business Functions that are carried out at each location in the Zachman Business-Network cell
