About the European Interoperability Reference Architecture

The European Interoperability Reference Architecture (EIRA©) is an architecture content metamodel defining the most salient architectural building blocks (ABBs) needed to build interoperable e-Government systems. The EIRA© provides a common terminology that can be used by people working for public administrations in various architecture and system development tasks. The EIRA© was created in the context of  Action 2016.32 of the ISA² Programme and is being maintained under the Digital Europe Programme (DEP). The EIRA uses (and extends) the ArchiMate language as a modelling notation and uses service orientation as an architectural style.
