  Today, there are millions of professionals worldwide acting as a designer,
architect or engineer in the design, realization, and implementation of
information systems. At this moment there is no well established and clearly
identified body of knowledge that defines their profession in a "standard" way.
In this article, we present the idea of developing an architecture method
library. Such a library could play a pivotal role to further professionalize
the field. The library contains project experiences, reference architectures,
literature, proven methods, tools, etc. Access mechanisms allow the
professional to use this body of knowledge. By giving it an open nature, it can
be filled by professionals from different fields. Feedback mechanisms are
possible to improve the contents of the library, for example by giving feedback
on the method components in the library.
