I've begun drafting some ideas for what kind of information may be useful to include in "Title Block" for architecture diagrams.
-
I think that the current state (or, lack thereof) of annotating software design architectural drawings - is abysmal - and much might be gleaned by looking left-and-right - and seeing how other industries annotate their diagrams.
-
Problem Statement:
- Diagrams that are exported from authoring tools, culled form PowerPoint, Visio, etc. - usually do not have a proper "Title Block" included.
- These diagrams are then uploaded to various places, emailed, shared, embedded (e.g. in PPT, Word, web sites, etc.).
- Thus, the thread of context is lost - and they become orphans, once separated - with no clear traceability (i.e. Who, What, When, Where, Why)
- I've done a brief survey of different Title Block styles - from various
construction blueprints and building architecture diagrams - to gather
some examples - as input to writing this document.
- My current working draft (admittedly, I've "boiled the ocean" - and it is a bit of overkill. As always, take what works for you - and discard the rest):
