In about 30 years in the architectural design practice I have not really heard the term "stovepipes" used in this way. Yet, I cannot think of an adequate term to replace it with. Pidgeon holes and compartments don't convey the same visual image. "Sectors" as noted by Andy Fuhrman may be worth considering.

Your comment regarding Chapter 3.2 is posted under 3.1. When I started posting I had quite a number of comments posted under the wrong chapters. I reposted them and revised the original post to say "Comment withdrawn, wrong section." That may not make sense here as you now have at least 3 replies to your comment.

I don't understand this sentence - I don't understand how data would manage something.

Withdrawn - this belongs in 3.1

I don't recognize the entity "Product Object Manufacturers". Who or what are you refering to?

Maybe you could mention object-oriented programming as contributing to a sea change in the way software can relate to data, enabling lines and arcs to be recognized as walls. Intelligence is created by the approach.

Proprietary or non-interoperable are general descriptions of the concept, but not a good substitute. I would suggest defining the initial term "stovepipe" in usage (possibly in the "The Role of Interoperability" section) and in a reference glossary. Keep "stovepipes" since most people will have at least a limited concept of software producing a result or product that cannot be accessed or understood and used by other software.

Stovepipes is a common term used and understood around the industry. What do you suggest? Sector?

Not happy with the term "stovepipes" this should be replaced throughout the standard.
