TOGAF® Poster Series #44


TOGAF and ArchiMate
by Roger Evernden

TOGAF and Archimate are both open standards for Enterprise Architecture that are managed by The Open Group. TOGAF
is probably the world’s leading EA method, while Archimate provides guidelines for modelling enterprise architectures. This
poster explains how TOGAF and Archimate can be used together.

TOGAF Part II provides a process or way-of-working (the ADM) for creating TOGAF Part V describes the concept of a virtual architecture repository,
architectures; it is accompanied by guidelines, techniques, and best containing predefined architectural artifacts and (reference) models
practices (Part III) (TOGAF provides two reference models in Part VI)
TOGAF follows the ISO/IEC 42010 standard – which defines the constructs The TOGAF Architecture Content Framework identifies the main types of
concerns, views, and viewpoints architecture building blocks. ArchiMate offers precisely defined concepts
and graphical notation to represent many of these building blocks
TOGAF Part IV describes the content of EA, in terms of a Content

Framework and Metamodel
ArchiMate is a language for describing architectures; it defines concepts
and relationships, and also provides a notation

The specification of a concern is open to any suitable modelling
language capable of capturing such concerns, which is compliant with
the ISO/IEC 42010 standard

NOTE


The mapping between TOGAF and ArchiMate is not complete or perfect! However, it is a good start, and it is likely to be improved
in future releases
Any architectural model should be clear and consistent, and use well-defined graphical notation and colour schemes
ArchiMate is not going to suit all stakeholders: you may need to show the same model using a different diagramming approach
