The NIST Enterprise Architecture Model is initiated in 1988 in the fifth workshop on Information Management Directions sponsored by the NIST in cooperation with the [[Association for Computing Machinery]] (ACM), the [[IEEE Computer Society]], and the Federal Data Management Users Group (FEDMUG). The results of this research project were published as the NIST Special Publication 500-167, ''Information Management Directions: The Integration Challenge''.<ref name="FG89"> Elizabeth N. Fong and Alan H. Goldfine (1989) ''Information Management Directions: The Integration Challenge''. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 500-167, September 1989.</ref>
With the proliferation of [[information technology]] starting in the 1970s, the job of [[information management]] had taken a new light, and also began to include the field of [[data maintenance]]. No longer was information management a simple job that could be performed by almost anyone. An understanding of the technology involved, and the theory behind it became necessary. As [[information storage]] shifted to electronic means, this became more and more difficult. The NIST had held workshops on Database and Information Management Directions since the 1970s. These workshops had each addressed a specific theme:
* "What information about [[database]] technology does the manager need to make prudent decisions about using new technology"<ref>First workshop in 1975. See Fong and Goldfine (1989, p. 5) </ref>
* "What information can help a manager assess the impact on a database system?"<ref>Second workshop in 1977. See Fong and Goldfine (1989, p. 5) </ref>
* "[[Information management]] tools from the standpoint of: uses; policies and controls; logical and physical database design"<ref>Second workshop in 1980. See Fong and Goldfine (1989, p. 5) </ref> ; and
* "The nature of information [[resource management]] practice and problems."<ref>Forth workshop in 1985. See Fong and Goldfine (1989, p. 5) </ref>
The fifth workshop focused on integration and productivity in [[information management]]. Five working groups considered specific aspects of the integration of knowledge, [[data management]], systems planning, development and maintenance, computing environments, architectures and standards. Participants came from academia, industry, government and consulting firms. Among the
