==Where to start?==
Depending on what you want to know or what you are looking for, several approaches exist to explore the contents of the Infrastructure Architecture Repository. Below, a number of common entry points are listed:

* You want to have a quick overview of the infrastructure landscape? Start discovering it by checking [[:Category:Working Area|Working Area]] and [[:Category:Environment|Environment]] descriptions to get an idea of the context of the landscape. To see what kind of infrastructure solutions are present, check out [[:Category:Pattern Type|Pattern Type]]s for universal solution specimens or [[:Category:Pattern Variant|Pattern Variant]]s for specific solution molds that are used to shape designs of infrastructure solutions in the particular landscape that is contained by this repository.

* You want to know what (universal) kinds of infrastructure functions exist? Check out the [[:Category:Building Block Type|Building Block Type]]s, a table that provides a nice overview is located [[Building Block Type Overview|here]].

* You want to know what particular instances of kinds of infrastructure function are contained by this knowledge base? Check out [[:Category:Building Block Variant|Building Block Variant]]s. Building Block Variants can be regarded as recipes or molds that can be used to guide and shape the designs of single infrastructure functions, so if you are a (project) architect, designer or engineer, this information might be of special interest to you.

* You want to know what (universal) kinds of infrastructure solutions exist? Check out the [[:Category:Pattern Type|Pattern Type]]s.

* You want to know what particular instances of kinds of infrastructure solutions are contained by this knowledge base? Check out [[:Category:Pattern Variant|Pattern Variant]]s. Pattern Variants can be regarded as recipes or molds that can be used to guide and shape the designs of infrastructure solutions, so if you are a solution architect, designer or engineer, this information might be of special interest to you.

* You want to know what Quality Attributes are defined, how they are elaborated, what classes and/or permutations exist, what pre-defined values are assigned, or what design guidelines are attached to certain Quality Attributes? Please check out the [[Quality Attribute Overview|Quality Attribute]] definitions in this knowledge system.
