Methodology, that is, "method" + "theory" .
First of all, it is a method to solve a certain problem domain . This method is more systematic and comprehensive , and has sufficient versatility and universality , such as the framework theories such as Zachman and TOGAF mentioned above.
Secondly, it is the process of discussing, analyzing, and summarizing things . In addition to copying formulas, the more important thing is the process of discussion , which can guide specific reference, adaptability, and practice based on this, such as design patterns, best practices, etc.
A good methodology should highly summarize and refine the method to solve the problem, explore the essence of the problem, analyze the problem systematically, repeatedly discuss the relationship and contradiction of various internal factors, and adapt to specific sub-problems through relevant guidelines field . In this way, the methodology is both abstract and concrete.
