The OpenGroup Architecture Framework (TOGAF®)

Youtube search... ...Google search

TOGAF® Standard, Version 9.2
The TOGAF® Standard, a standard of The Open Group, is a proven Enterprise Architecture methodology and framework used by the world’s leading organizations to improve business efficiency.

The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 provide improved guidance, correcting errors, improving the document structure, and removing obsolete content. Key enhancements made in this version include updates to the Business Architecture and the Content Metamodel. All of these changes make the TOGAF framework easier to use and maintain.

It is the most prominent and reliable Enterprise Architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among Enterprise Architecture professionals. Those professionals who are fluent in the TOGAF approach enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities. This approach helps practitioners avoid being locked into proprietary methods, utilize resources more efficiently and effectively, and realize a greater return on investment.

The standard is constantly evolving as a result of the work delivered by members of The Open Group Architecture Forum and TOGAF certification has been achieved by over 100,000 individuals worldwide.

It retains the major features and structure of the previous version of the standard including:

Modular Structure: The TOGAF standard has a modular structure. The modular structure supports:

  • Greater usability – defined purpose for each part; can be used in isolation as a standalone set of guidelines
  • Incremental adoption of the TOGAF standard
  • Accompanying the standard is a portfolio of guidance material, known as the TOGAF Library, to support the practical application of the TOGAF approach

Content Framework: The TOGAF standard includes a content framework to drive greater consistency in the outputs that are created when following the Architecture Development Method (ADM). The TOGAF content framework provides a detailed model of architectural work products.

Extended Guidance: The TOGAF standard features an extended set of concepts and guidelines to support the establishment of an integrated hierarchy of architectures being developed by teams within larger organizations that operate within an overarching architectural governance model. In particular, the following concepts are included:

  • Partitioning – a number of techniques and considerations on how to partition the various architectures within an enterprise.
  • Architecture Repository – a logical information model for an Architecture Repository which can be used as an integrated store for all outputs created by executing the ADM.
  • Capability Framework – a structured definition of the organization, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to operate an effective enterprise architecture capability. The TOGAF standard also provides guidance on a process that can be followed to identify and establish an appropriate architecture capability.

Architectural Styles: The TOGAF standard is designed to be flexible and it can be used with various architectural styles. Examples are provided both in the TOGAF standard, in Part III: ADM Guidelines & Techniques, and the TOGAF Library. Together these comprise a set of supporting materials that show in detail how the ADM can be applied to specific situations; for example:

  • The varying uses of iteration that are possible within the ADM and when each technique should be applied

The various types of architecture development required within an enterprise and how these relate to one another

Further details can be found in The Open Group library: https://publications.opengroup.org/ W182 White Paper: An Introduction to the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 N180 Reference Cards: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 Overview

What is DATA REFERENCE MODEL? What does DATA REFERENCE MODEL mean? DATA REFERENCE MODEL meaning - DATA REFERENCE MODEL definition - DATA REFERENCE MODEL explanation. The Data Reference Model (DRM) is one of the five reference models of the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA). The DRM is a framework whose primary purpose is to enable information sharing and reuse across the United States federal government via the standard description and discovery of common data and the promotion of uniform data management practices. The DRM describes artifacts which can be generated from the data architectures of federal government agencies. The DRM provides a flexible and standards-based approach to accomplish its purpose. The scope of the DRM is broad, as it may be applied within a single agency, within a Community of Interest (COI), or cross-COI.

Zachman Framework

Youtube search... ...Google search

Introduction to Enterprise Architecture
The Zachman Framework™ is an enterprise ontology and metamodel for enterprise architecture. which provides a formal and structured way of viewing and defining an enterprise. The ontology is a two dimensional classification schema that reflects the intersection between two historical classifications. The Zachman Framework is not a methodology, like the TOGAF® Architecture Development Method (ADM), but rather a template describing how different abstract ideas are viewed from different perspectives. It is an ontology matrix simply that helps to form a logical structure for classifying and organizing artifacts developed in enterprise architecture. Zachman is focused on identifying the different viewpoints that might be relevant for different purposes while TOGAF is focused on the process of developing architectures. Presenter: John A. Zachman
