UAF13 — A Repository Does Not Store Architecture - It Stores Architecture Description(s) - Differentiation of Duck vs Photo of Duck

Figure 1:4 - Architecture Views and Models are Used in Other Architecture Processes shows a box labelled 'Architecture Repository'.

This is incorrect. Using the ISO 42010 conceptual model the (real world) 'architecture' and 'architecture description' (an artefact) are separate concepts. You do not store the real world thing on a hard drive - you store its description.

I would recommend checking and issuing the following as guidance to the UAF authors to avoid keep making this error - [1] ‘The Treachery of Images, 1929 by Rene Magritte’, Rene Magritte - Biography, Paintings, and Quotes. [Online]. Available: https://www.renemagritte.org/the-treachery-of-images.jsp

It might seem trivial but it makes reading hard work particularly where you legilimately use an 'architecture description' to make comment on an 'architecture'. Because this error is so widesperead it's impossible for the reader to understand Figure 1.4 because anywhere 'architecture' appears it could really mean 'architecture description'

If someone told you that they were storing a duck on a hard drive you'd question their sanity. If they instead correctly said they were storing a photo of a duck on a hard drive it'd be a perfectly understandable and reasonable thing to say. This persisant and endemic confusion of the two terms is that wrong.
