TOGAF® is modeled on four architecture domains, namely:

TOGAF® was developed by the Open Group in the early 1990s by as a methodology for development of technological architecture. TOGAF® 1.0 was the first version of TOGAF® and was presented in 1995. It was based on the US Department of Defense’s Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management or TAFIM. Following this, successive versions of TOGAF® were developed and published by the Open Group at regular intervals. The popular Technical Version or TOGAF® 7 was presented in December 2001. And exactly after one year the Enterprise Edition or TOGAF® 8 was presented in December 2002. It was followed by a series of improvements to version 8.1 in 2003 and version 8.1.1 in 2006. The latest version or TOGAF® 9 was launched in December, 2011 with many marked improvements.
