IntroductionThe aim of this workbook is to allow you to make notes about key learning points as they come up in
the online course. This will help you make sure you understand the important concepts and ideas in
each module. These notes will also be valuable when you are preparing for the TOGAF 9 Foundation
Level Exam.
This workbook consists of thirteen modules, divided into seven parts, which correspond to the modules
you will be completing during the online course. At the end of each part you can test yourself by taking
the online quiz.
How to Study using the Workbook
A number of learning requirements are outlined in the workbook for every module. These
requirements are defined by The Open Group and form the basis of everything you need to know in
order to pass the TOGAF Part 1 Examination. As you navigate through the e-learning course, you can
check the required learning unit for each slide and make notes against it. To match up each learning
requirement in the workbook with the learning content on your screen you can cross reference the
corresponding slide name and its unique reference code. Wherever you are in the e-learning course you
can check the learning requirement from within your browser by opening the “Reference Materials”box in the menu bar directly beneath the slide.
You can access the TOGAF Version 9.1 online document if you would like to…
The online version of TOGAF 9 is used as a reference in this study guide.

TOGAF.
(Also listed as Glossary part of Good eLearning)
TOGAF 9 Learning Outcomes
01 Activity
A task or collection of tasks that support the functions of an organization. For example, user entering
data into an IT system or traveling to visit customers.
02 Application
A deployed and operational IT system that supports business functions and services; for example, a
payroll. Applications use data and are supported by multiple technology components but are distinct
from the technology components that support the application.
03 Application Architecture
A description of the major logical grouping of capabilities that manage the data objects necessary to
process the data and support the business.
04 Architecture
1. A formal description of a system, or a detailed plan of the system at component level, to guide its
implementation (source: ISO/IEC 42010:2007).
2. The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing
their design and evolution overtime.
05 Architecture Building Block ABB)
A constituent of the architecture model that describes a single aspect of the overall model.
06 Architecture Development Method ADM)
The core of TOGAF. A step-by-step approach to develop and use an enterprise architecture.
07 Architecture Domain
The architectural area being considered.
There are four architecture domains within TOGAF: business, data, application, and technology.
08 Architecture Framework
A foundational structure, or set of structures, which can be used for developing a broad range of
different architectures. It should contain a method for designing an information system in terms of a set
7/18/2019 E learning workbook for TOGAF
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/e-learning-workbook-for-togaf 50/54
49
of building blocks, and for showing how the building blocks together. It should contain a set of tools
and provide a common vocabulary. It should also include a list of recommended standards and
compliant products that can be used to implement the building blocks.
09 Architecture Principles A qualitative statement of intent that should be met by the architecture. Has at least a supporting
rationale and a measure of importance.
10 Architecture View
See Definition 47.
11 Architecture Vision
1. A high-level, aspirational view of the Target Architecture.
2. A phase in the ADM which delivers understanding and definition of the Architecture Vision.3. A specific deliverable describing the Architecture Vision.
12 Baseline
A specification that has been formally reviewed and agreed upon, that thereafter serves as the basis for
further development or change and that can be changed only through formal change control procedures
or a type of procedure such as configuration management.
13 Baseline Architecture
The existing defined system architecture before entering a cycle of architecture review and redesign.
14 Building Block
Represents a (potentially re-usable) component of business, IT, or architectural capability that can be
combined with other building blocks to deliver architectures and solutions.
Building blocks can be defined at various levels of detail, depending on what stage of architecture
development has been reached. For instance, at an early stage, a building block can simply consist of a
name or an outline description. Later on, a building block may be decomposed into multiple
supporting building blocks and may be accompanied by a full specification. Building blocks can relateto ``architectures'' or ``solutions''.
15 Business Architecture
The business strategy, governance, organization, and key business processes information, as well as the
interaction between these concepts.
16 Business Governance
Concerned with ensuring that the business processes and policies (and their operation) deliver the
business outcomes and adhere to relevant business regulation.

17 Capability
An ability that an organization, person, or system possesses. Capabilities are typically expressed in
general and high-level terms and typically require a combination of organization, people, processes, and
technology to achieve. For example, marketing, customer contact, or outbound telemarketing.
18 Concerns
The key interests that are crucially important to the stakeholders in a system, and determine the
acceptability of the system. Concerns may pertain to any aspect of the system's functioning,
development, or operation, including considerations such as performance, reliability, security,
distribution, and evolvability.
19 Constraint
An external factor that prevents an organization from pursuing particular approaches to meet its goals.
For example, customer data is not harmonized within the organization, regionally or nationally,
constraining the organization's ability to offer effective customer service.
20 Data Architecture
The structure of an organization's logical and physical data assets and data management resources.
21 Deliverable
An architectural work product that is contractually specified and in turn formally reviewed, agreed, and
signed off by the stakeholders. Deliverables represent the output of projects and those deliverables that
are in documentation form will typically be archived at completion of a project, or transitioned into an
Architecture Repository as a reference model, standard, or snapshot of the Architecture Landscape at a
point in time.
22 Enterprise
The highest level(typically) of description of an organization and typically covers all missions and
functions. An enterprise will often span multiple organizations.
23 Foundation Architecture
An architecture of generic services and functions that provides a foundation on which more specific
architectures and architectural components can be built. The TOGAF Foundation Architecture
includes a Technical Reference Model (TRM).
24 Gap
A statement of difference between two states. Used in the context of gap analysis, where the difference
between the Baseline and Target Architecture is identified.
25 Governance
7/18/2019 E learning workbook for TOGAF
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/e-learning-workbook-for-togaf 52/54
51

27 Information Technology IT)
1. The lifecycle management of information and related technology used by an organization.
2. An umbrella term that includes all or some of the subject areas relating to the computer industry,
such as Business Continuity, Business IT Interface, Business Process Modeling and Management,
Communication, Compliance and Legislation, Computers, Content Management, Hardware,
Information Management, Internet, Offshoring, Networking, Programming and Software,
Professional Issues, Project Management, Security, Standards, Storage, Voice and Data
Communications. Various countries and industries employ other umbrella terms to describe this
same collection.
3. A term commonly assigned to a department within an organization tasked with provisioning some
or all of the domains described in (2) above .
4. Alternate names commonly adopted include Information Services, Information Management, et al.
28 Logical
An implementation-independent definition of the architecture, often grouping related physical entities
according to their purpose and structure. For example, the products from infrastructure software
vendors can all be logically grouped as Java application server platforms.
29 Metadata
Data about data, of any sort in any media, that describes the characteristics of an entity.
30 Meta model
A model that describes how and with what the architecture will be described in a structured way.
31 Method
A defined, repeatable approach to address a particular type of problem.
32 Methodology
A defined, repeatable series of steps to address a particular type of problem, which typically centers on a
defined process, but may also include definition of content.
33 Model
A representation of a subject of interest. A model provides a smaller scale, simpliFIed, and/or abstract
representation of the subject matter. A model is constructed as a ``means to an end''. In the context of
enterprise architecture, the subject matter is a whole or part of the enterprise and the end is the ability to
7/18/2019 E learning workbook for TOGAF
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/e-learning-workbook-for-togaf 53/54
52
construct ``views'' that address the concerns of particular stakeholders; i.e., their ``viewpoints'' in
relation to the subject matter.
34 Modeling
A technique through construction of models which enables a subject to be represented in a form thatenables reasoning, insight, and clarity concerning the essence of the subject matter.
35 Objective
A time-bounded milestone for an organization used to demonstrate progress towards a goal; for
example, ``Increase Capacity Utilization by 30% by the end of 2009 to support the planned increase in
market share''.
36 Physical
A description of a real-world entity. Physical elements in an enterprise architecture may still be
considerably abstracted from Solution Architecture, design, or implementation views.
37 Reference Model RM)
A reference model is an abstract framework for understanding significant relationships among the
entities of [an] environment, and for the development of consistent standards or specifications
supporting that environment. A reference model is based on a small number of unifying concepts and
may be used as a basis for education and explaining standards to a non-specialist. A reference model is
not directly tied to any standards, technologies, or other concrete implementation details, but it does
seek to provide common semantics that can be used unambiguously across and between different
implementations.

enterprise information. Hence, the data in a repository is much more extensive than that in a data
dictionary, which generally defines only the data making up a database.
39 Requirement
A quantitative statement of business need that must be met by a particular architecture or work package.
40 Solution Architecture
A description of a discrete and focused business operation or activity and how IS/IT supports that
operation. A Solution Architecture typically applies to a single project or project release, assisting in the
translation of requirements into a solution vision, high-level business and/or IT system specifications,
and a portfolio of implementation tasks.

Shelf (COTS) package, that is a component of the Acquirer view of the architecture.
42 Stakeholder
An individual, team, or organization (or classes thereof) with interests in, or concerns relative to, the
outcome of the architecture. Different stakeholders with different roles will have different concerns.
43 Strategic Architecture
A summary formal description of the enterprise, providing an organizing framework for operational and
change activity, and an executive-level, long-term view for direction setting.
44 Target Architecture
The description of a future state of the architecture being developed for an organization. There may be
several future states developed as a roadmap to show the evolution of the architecture to a target state.
45 Technology Architecture
The logical software and hardware capabilities that are required to support deployment of business,
data, and application services. This includes IT infrastructure, middleware, networks, communications,
processing, and standards.
46 Transition Architecture
A formal description of the enterprise architecture showing periods of transition and development for
particular parts of the enterprise. Transition Architectures are used to provide an overview of current
and target capability and allow for individual work packages and projects to be grouped into managed
portfolios and programs.
47 View
The representation of a related set of concerns. A view is what is seen from a viewpoint. An architecture
view maybe represented by a model to demonstrate to stakeholders their areas of interest in the
architecture. A view does not have to be visual or graphical in nature.
48 Viewpoint
A definition of the perspective from which a view is taken. It is a specification of the conventions for
constructing and using a view (often by means of an appropriate schema or template). A view is what
you see; a viewpoint is where you are looking from Š the vantage point or perspective that determines
what you see.
