[The IBM Unified Method Framework](https://w3.ibm.com/w3publisher/ibm-architect-profession/education#Architectural_Thinking) is the modelling standard used by IBM for IT architecture. When creating an IT architecture diagram, follow the visual guidance developed specifically for this type of diagram. Doing so helps ensure correct interpretation of your architectural model.
+The visual vocabulary developed for IT architecture diagrams corresponds to the main elements used in architecture models:
+- Target IT system: The system being modelled and engineered
+- Actor: An external IT system or a user interacting with the target system
+- Component: A modular unit of functionality, which makes this functionality
+ available through an interface
+- Node: A collection of deployment units in a location
+- Deployment unit: Nonfunctional aspects of a component
+- Subsystem: Any subset of the model elements and element relationships of a system
+- Location: A group representing a geographical area or position
+- Zone: A group aggregating a number of model elements with a common set of
+ values for a specific nonfunctional requirement
