Note: A sample set of Architecture Principles is defined in Part III, 20.Īrchitecture Principles. 3.16 Architecture PrincipleĪ qualitative statement of intent that should be met by the architecture. See also 3.72 Stakeholder, 3.17 Architecture View, and 3.18 Architecture Viewpoint. Note: An architecture model provides a smaller scale, simplified, and/or abstract representation of the subject matter. 3.15 Architecture ModelĪ representation of a subject of interest. The architectural representation of assets in use, or planned, by the enterprise at particular points in time. Relevant principles, standards, and roadmaps. The goal is to deliver desired outcomes and adhere to The practice of monitoring and directing architecture-related work. 3.12 Architecture FrameworkĪ conceptual structure used to plan, develop, implement, govern, and sustain an architecture. Other domains may also be considered (e.g., security). The TOGAF framework has four primary architecture domains: business, data, application,Īnd technology. Note: The ADM is described in Part II: Architecture Development Method (ADM). Govern business transformation and implementation projects. A multi-phase, iterative approach to develop and use an Enterprise Architecture to shape and 3.10 Architecture Development Method (ADM) There it spans to Industry Architectures and all the way to an Organization-Specific Architecture. Note: This Continuum begins with foundational definitions like reference models, core strategies, and basic building blocks. A repository of architectural elements with increasing detail and specialization. 3.9 Architecture ContinuumĪ part of the Enterprise Continuum. The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolutionĪ constituent of the architecture model that describes a single aspect of the overall model.The fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its environment embodied in its elements, relationships, and in the.The combination of distinctive features related to the specific context within which architecture is performed or expressed aĬollection of principles and characteristics that steer or constrain how an architecture is formed. The collection of technology components of hardware and software that provide the services used to support applications. It is enabled by technology services provided by technology Note: For example, a business application such as an accounting, payroll, or CRM system.Īn application component usually maintains a data component. ItĮncapsulates its behavior and data, provides services, and makes them available through interfaces. 3.4 Application ComponentĪn encapsulation of application functionality aligned to implementation structure, which is modular and replaceable. Information Systems Architectures - Application Architecture. Note: Application Architecture is described in Part II, 10. 3.3 Application ArchitectureĪ description of the structure and interaction of the applications as groups of capabilities that provide key business functionsĪnd manage the data assets. Interacts with its supply chain activities. Note: In the automotive industry, an original equipment manufacturer would be considered an actor by an automotive dealership that Actors may be internal or external to an organization. Representative who travels to visit customers. 3.2 ActorĪ person, organization, or system that has one or more roles that initiates or interacts with activities for example, a sales Identified before further detail is attempted. It is especially useful when dealing with large and complex architectures as it allows relevant issues to be Abstraction in this sense is typically used in architecture to allow a consistent level ofĭefinition and understanding to be achieved in each area of the architecture in order to support effective communication andĭecision-making. Note: Abstraction, as in "level of abstraction", can also mean providing a focus for analysis that is concerned with a consistent andĬommon level of detail or abstraction. The technique of providing summarized or generalized descriptions of detailed and complex content.
