Enterprise Architecture Web Sites

Here are some web sites that I have personally selected because they are relevant to the study of enterprise architecture, information and the future.

It includes a list of the main organizations, communities, networks and newsletters aimed at Enterprise Architects. This section also includes links to related disciplines, such as Information Architecture.

Note that: many of these sites have a strong bias towards IT rather than purely dealing with information, those that deal with knowledge often overlook the parallel need for information management, and the ones covering enterprise architecture tend to focus on a subset of the full discipline. Let me know if I've missed anything.
