Presentation

Enterprise architecture modelling, visualization and analysis with ArchiMate and TOGAF

The Open Group's TOGAF standard (version 9) is a leading method for enterprise architecture development, including, among others, a process, techniques, best practices and a content framework. However, TOGAF does not prescribe a specific notation for architectural models. ArchiMate, recently also accepted as an Open Group standard, is a precisely defined language for integrated EA modelling, which includes a concrete graphical notation. ArchiMate can be used to model the business, application and technology layers, as well as their relationships. Together, TOGAF and ArchiMate provide a comprehensive approach to enterprise architecture.

In this presentation, we take a closer look at how ArchiMate relates to TOGAF's content framework and the Architecture Development Method (ADM). Illustrated with examples, we show the use of ArchiMate models throughout the ADM cycle, as well as how these models can be used to derive suitable views for different stakeholders. Also, we show how ArchiMate models support different types of analysis, e.g., gap analysis as used in TOGAF. Finally, we show where the gaps are in the ArchiMate coverage of TOGAF, suggesting a possible future extension of ArchiMate with additional modelling domains and concepts.
