 ADM - Architecture Development Method forms the core of TOGAF. It is a reliable,

proven method for developing an IT architecture that meets the business needs of an
organization, utilizing the other elements of TOGAF described in this document, and
other architectural assets available to the organization.
 Application Component represents an encapsulation of application functionality
aligned to implementation structure, which is modular and replaceable.
 Application Function represents automated behavior that can be performed by an
application component.
 Application Service represents an explicitly defined exposed application behavior.
 Architecture - the fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its environment
embodied in its elements, relationships, and in the principles of its design and
evolution.
 Architecture Change Management Phase goal is to ensure that the architecture
achieves its original target business value.
 Architecture Content Framework informs on what content to produce at what
phase of the ADM cycle, and also gives a model to structure those Architecture
Deliverables
 Architecture Framework - a conceptual structure used to plan, develop, implement,
govern, and sustain an architecture.
 Architecture Model - a representation of a subject of interest.
 Architecture Repository allows an enterprise to distinguish between different types
of architectural assets that exist at different levels of abstraction in the organization.
 Architecture Vision Phase is about developing a high-level aspirational vision of the
capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed enterprise
architecture.
 Artifact - an architectural work product that describes an aspect of the architecture.
 Augmented Reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment
where the objects that reside in the real-world are enhanced by computer-generated
perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including
visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory.
 Baseline Architecture - is the “as is” or “current” architecture; includes architecture

assets from all architecture domains.
2
 Big Data is a field that treats ways to analyze, systematically extract information from,
or otherwise deal with data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by
traditional data-processing application software.
 Building block - a component of enterprise capability that can be combined with
other building blocks to deliver architectures and solutions.
 Business Actor is a business entity that is capable of performing behavior.
 Business Architecture Phase goal is to develop the Target Business Architecture.
 Business Function is a collection of business behavior based on a chosen set of
criteria.
 Business Process represents a sequence of business behaviors that achieves a
specific outcome.
 Business Role is the responsibility for performing specific behavior, to which an actor
can be assigned.
 Business Services is an explicitly defined exposed business behavior.
 Cloud Computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources,

especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by
the user. The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users
over the Internet.
 Deliverable - a work product that is contractually specified and formally reviewed,

agreed, and signed off by the stakeholders.
 Enterprise – the highest level (typically) of description of an organization and

typically covers all missions and functions. An enterprise will often span multiple
organizations.
 Enterprise Continuum is as a view of the repository of all the architecture assets.
 Implementation Governance Phase is about bringing together all the information

for successful management of the various implementation projects.
 Industry 4.0 represents the fourth industrial revolution on the way to an Internet of
Things, Data and Services. Decentralized intelligence helps create intelligent object
networking and independent process management, with the interaction of the real
3
and virtual worlds representing a crucial new aspect of the manufacturing and
production process.
 Information Systems Architecture Phase goal is to develop the Target Information
Systems (Data and Application) Architecture.
 Information Technology (IT) - the lifecycle management of information and related
technology used by an organization.
 Internet of Things (IoT) is the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices
and everyday objects. Embedded with electronics, Internet connectivity, and other
forms of hardware (such as sensors), these devices can communicate and interact
with others over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.
 Migration Planning Phase is about the creation of an Implementation and Migration

Plan in co-operation with the portfolio and project managers.
 Modelling – a technique through construction of models which enables a subject to
be represented in a form that enables reasoning, insight, and clarity concerning the
essence of the subject matter.
 Opportunities & Solutions Phase is about generating the initial complete version
of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate
Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D.
 Preliminary Phase is about defining "where, what, why, who, and how we do
architecture" in the enterprise concerned.
 TAFIM - Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management a reference

model for enterprise architecture by and for the United States Department of Defense.
 Target Architecture – architecture, which provides the details of a future state of an
architecture being developed for an organization.
 Technology Architecture Phase is about developing the Target Data Architecture
that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision, while addressing
the Request for Architecture Work and stakeholder concerns.
 TOGAF - the Open Group Architecture Framework.
