Chapter 4 Flashcards
Architecture Continuum
Part of Enterprise Continuum - Repository of architectural elements. this Continuum begins with foundational defs such as reference model, core strategies basic building blocks.
Architecture Building Block
A constituent of the architecture model that describes a single aspect of the overall model
Architecture Development Model (ADM)
Core of TOGAF Standard - step by step approach to dev enterprise arch
Architecture Domain
Area being considered - four domains within Business DATA APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY
Architecture Framework
Conceptual structure used to develop implement and sustain arch
Architecture Principles
Wualitative staetement of intent that should be met by the architecture
Architecture Vision
Succint description of the target architecture that describes its business value
Baseline
Specification that has been formally reviewed and agreed upon - can be changed only through formal change
Building Block
Reusable component - from only outline & name later full specs
Business Architecture
A description of the strucutre and interaction between the business strategy - functions business & and info needs
Business Governance
Concerned with business processes & policies deliver outcome and adhere to regulation
Capability
Ability someone/-thing possesses
Concerns
Key interest of stakeholder
Constraint
External factor that prevents an org to meet goals
Data Architecture
Structure & interaction of logical data, physical data assets etc.
Deliverable
Work product - formally reviewed and agreed on. Output of projects - Put into Arch Repository as a reference model, standard or snapshot of arch landscape
Enterprise
Highest level of organization
Enterprise Continuum
Categorization mechanismn - clssifying arch & solution artefacts
Foundation Architecture
Generic building blocks
Gap
Statement between two stages - baseline & target arch
Governance
Managing, monitoring and steering business
Metadata
Data about Data
Metamodel
A model that describes how and with what the architecture will be described in a structured way
Reference Model
Abstract framework for understanding significant relationships among entities
Repository
System that manages all data
Solution Architecture
Description of how IS/IT supports business operaton
Solution Building block
Candidate soljution which conforms to an Architecture Building block
Solutions Continuum
Part of Enterprise Continuum - repository of reusable solutions for future implementations
Technical Reference Model
Structure which allows the components of an info system to be described in a consistent manner
Transition Architecture
State of arch at a point of time - progress between base & target arch
View
Representation of related set of concers - view is what is seen from a viewpoint
Viewpoint
perspective from which a view is taken
