As leaders in their respective disciplines, UML, RUP, and the Zachman Framework can be used together in any organization to deliver better overall architectural value. Both RUP and Zachman are model-driven and require a notation to function. Since RUP dictates UML as a notation, it probably makes sense to standardize on UML for enterprise architecture as well, since there are generally no drawbacks to this. Despite the fact that both RUP and Zachman rely on models, they have virtually no functional overlap. This is primarily because RUP is a process, while Zachman is a framework, but also reflects the fact that RUP targets project architecture while Zachman focuses on the enterprise organization.
