We identify the mappings between these standards, as well as highlight the strengths of each standard, allowing you to identify where each standards may add the most value to your architecture practice and organization. Archimate 2.1 Extensions A number of TOGAF Views are not supported by the ArchiMate Core Language. The ArchiMate CORE does not address high level strategic or motivational viewpoints, or detailed system development concepts. ArchiMate Extensions where introduced to support these additional areas within the TOGAF ADM. The ArchiMate Motivation Extension supportsconcepts such as Goals, Principles and Requirements which are addressed in Preliminary, Phase A, H and Requirements Management in the TOGAF ADM The ArchiMate Implementation and Migration Extension supports concepts in the Phases E, F and G of the TOGAF ADM. Phase A Architecture Vision Preliminary Phase Phase H Architecture Change Management Phase F Migration Planning Phase G Implementation Governance Phase C Information Systems Architectures Phase D Technology Architecture Phase E Opportunities and Implementation IMPLEMENTATION AND MIGRATIONS BUSINESS LAYER APPLICATION LAYER TECHNOLOGY LAYER FORMATION BEHAVIOR STRUCTURE MOTIVATION TOGAF ADM ArchiMate ArchiMate 2.1 and the TOGAF 9.1 ADM ArchiMate and TOGAF are complimentary architecture standards with different focuses. ArchiMate provides a standard, independent set of architecture concepts and Views. The structure of the ArchiMate Language is aligned with the TOGAF ADM Core; TOGAF ADM Phases B, C, D align with the three ArchiMate Layers (Business, Application and Technology) which make up the ArchiMate Core Language Structure. Preliminary Phase BUSINESS APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY FORMATION BEHAVIOR STRUCTURE TOGAF ADM ArchiMate Differences between ArchiMate and TOGAF AREA ArchiMate 2.1 TOGAF 9.1 Focus Multi-purpose Modelling Language and Notation Architecture Development Method Artefacts Diagrams only (pictorial) Diagrams, Documents, Catalogues and Matrices Stakeholder Defined stakeholder viewpoint structure for addressing audience concerns and objectives Defined set of architectural artefacts (architecture content framework) without level of abstraction or target audience Concepts No distinction between logical and physical concepts Well defined distinction between logical and physical concepts. Structure High-level generic meta-model structure, with detailed meta-models per layer (Business,Application, Technology) Single, highly detailed, holistic meta-model Relationships Simplified basic set of structural and dynamic relationships Multiple relationships specific to each concepts Summary Using ArchiMate strengths to support the TOGAF ADM will ensure synergy and enhance value added by the architecture practice; 1. ArchiMate Viewpoint Structure ensures targeted artefacts and outcomes, addressing specific stakeholder concerns; 2. TOGAF ADM provides detailed guidance on developing an Enterprise Architecture; 3. ArchiMate Modelling Language provides easy to understand modelling concepts and an attractive notation; 4. TOGAF separates logical and physical artefacts well 5. ArchiMate offers a simplified meta-medel and relationship structure allowing complementalization and piecemeal adoption. The ArchiMate and TOGAF Harmonization project (Project Harmony) is currently under way (April 2015) and will ensure better alignment with viewpoints and concepts ofArchiMate and TOGAF, including: 1. Glossary Alignment 2. Viewpoint Mapping 3. Meta-model Alignment
