A Documentation as Architecture Framework is a software architecture framework that treats documentation artifacts as intentionally designed system components with structured organization and defined relationships.
- AKA: Docs as Architecture, Documentation Architecture System, Structured Documentation Framework.
- Context:
- It can typically establish Documentation Hierarchy Structure through purpose-based folder organization.
- It can typically enforce Documentation Placement Rules through predetermined location assignment.
- It can typically implement Documentation Lifecycle Management Process through systematic document tracking.
- It can typically support Documentation Quality Measurement through objective metric evaluation.
- It can typically enable Documentation Maintenance Automation through scripted workflow integration.
- It can often facilitate Documentation Discovery through structured navigation pathways.
- It can often promote Documentation Consistency through standardized organization patterns.
- It can often reduce Documentation Debt through proactive organization practices.
- It can often improve Documentation Accessibility through logical structure design.

- It can range from being a Simple Documentation as Architecture Framework to being a Complex Documentation as Architecture Framework, depending on its organizational sophistication level.
- It can range from being a Manual Documentation as Architecture Framework to being an Automated Documentation as Architecture Framework, depending on its automation integration degree.
- It can range from being a Project-Level Documentation as Architecture Framework to being an Enterprise-Level Documentation as Architecture Framework, depending on its organizational scope.
- It can range from being a Static Documentation as Architecture Framework to being a Dynamic Documentation as Architecture Framework, depending on its adaptation capability.

- Example(s):
- Software Project Documentation as Architecture Frameworks, such as:
- Technical Writing Documentation Frameworks, such as:
- ...
- Counter-Example(s):
- Ad-Hoc Documentation Practice, which lacks intentional structure design.
- Debug Output Anti-Pattern, which treats documentation as temporary artifacts.
- Flat File Documentation System, which lacks hierarchical organization.
- Unstructured Documentation Repository, which lacks systematic organization.
