What is a reference architecture Togaf?
A reference architecture is a generic architecture that provides guidelines and options for making decisions in the development of more specific architectures and the implementation of solutions. A reference architecture can be at any point of the architecture continuum.
What is reference model and reference architecture?
The term architectural style has also been widely used to describe the same concept. A reference model is a division of functionality together with data flow between the pieces. A reference model is a standard decomposition of a known problem into parts that cooperatively solve the problem.
What is difference between reference architecture and solution architecture?
Reference architectures are standardized architectures that provide a frame of reference for a vertical domain or sector. Reference models or architectures provide a common vocabulary, reusable designs and industry best practices. They are not solution architectures, i.e. they are not implemented directly.
What is a reference architecture example?
Government reference architectures, for example, the US FEAF or the Australian AGA; Defense architecture frameworks such as NAF, DODAF, and MoDAF; Reference architectures for manufacturing and supply chains such as ISA-95 and SCOR.
What is included in a reference architecture?
A reference architecture is a document or set of documents that provides recommended structures and integrations of IT products and services to form a solution. The reference architecture embodies accepted industry best practices, typically suggesting the optimal delivery method for specific technologies.
What is in a reference architecture?
What is the difference between reference architecture and an architectural pattern?
Patterns and reference architectures document solutions in different levels of granularity. While a pattern focus on a single problem and in a single recurrent solution, a reference architecture usually considers the target domain as a whole.
How do you develop reference architecture?
Once the decision is made to develop a Reference Architecture, the first step is to identify domain boundaries clearly and distinctly and what is in scope and what is out of scope. Next, identify sources of relevant domain architecture data, find, collect, and organize components artifacts.
What is the TOGAF foundation architecture?
The TOGAF Foundation Architecture is an architecture of generic services and functions that provides a foundation on which more specific architectures and architectural components can be built. This Foundation Architecture has two main elements:
What is the higher level function of the TOGAF TRM?
The TOGAF TRM focuses on the Application Platform, and the “higher-level function” is the set of Application Software, running on top of the Application Platform, that is needed to address the enterprise’s business requirements. It is important to recognize that the Application Platform in the TOGAF TRM is a single, generic, conceptual entity.
What makes a good TOGAF document set?
Portability, of data, people, applications, and components Extensibility, or the ability to accept new functionality The ability to offer access to services in new paradigms such as object-orientation The TOGAF document set is designed for use with frames. To navigate around the document:
Where can I download the TOGAF documentation?
Downloads of the TOGAF documentation, are available under license from the TOGAF information web site. The license is free to any organization wishing to use TOGAF entirely for internal purposes (for example, to develop an information system architecture for use within that organization).
