This is a system architect definition. In system
architect, you can create new definition types, as well as define you
own diagrams. The definitions, once created, may be reused across
the entire project, and reported against. A complete history trail is
captured for each change, as well as the audit history. The definitions
may capture information about Goals, Systems, Applications, Data, or
Technolgoy Standards. Linked together, reporting can be done to
show impact analysis.
