TOGAF TOGAF Architecture Repository 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the TOGAF Technical Reference Model (TRM) primarily used for?
- Mapping business processes to IT systems
- Providing a fundamental architecture for information systems as a foundation for specific architectures (Correct answer)
- Documenting technology vendor contracts
- Defining data governance policies
Correct answer: Providing a fundamental architecture for information systems as a foundation for specific architectures
The TOGAF TRM provides a fundamental architecture upon which more specific architectures can be based, defining a taxonomy of platform services.
Question 2: What is the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM) in TOGAF?
- A model for integrating enterprise databases
- A reference model supporting the vision of Boundaryless Information Flow across the enterprise (Correct answer)
- A framework for IT service management
- A model for integrating security domains
Correct answer: A reference model supporting the vision of Boundaryless Information Flow across the enterprise
The III-RM supports the vision of Boundaryless Information Flow by defining the components needed for integrated information infrastructure.
Question 3: In the Architecture Repository, what distinguishes an 'Architecture Metamodel' from other components?
- It defines the organizationally tailored application of TOGAF and the relationships between architecture elements (Correct answer)
- It stores completed architecture deliverables
- It contains compliance assessment results
- It lists approved software products
Correct answer: It defines the organizationally tailored application of TOGAF and the relationships between architecture elements
The Architecture Metamodel documents the specific application of an architecture framework, including entity types, relationships, and the tailored metamodel for the organization.
Question 4: What is a 'Building Block' in TOGAF, and what two types exist?
- A physical data center component; types are Server and Storage
- A packaged component of business, IT, or architectural capability; types are ABB and SBB (Correct answer)
- A modular software component; types are Open Source and Proprietary
- A risk item; types are Technical and Business
Correct answer: A packaged component of business, IT, or architectural capability; types are ABB and SBB
A Building Block is a reusable component of business, IT, or architectural capability; Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) are capability-focused and Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) are product/vendor specific.
Question 5: Which part of the TOGAF Architecture Repository captures the organization's architecture policies and standards?
- Reference Library
- Architecture Landscape
- Standards Library (Correct answer)
- Architecture Metamodel
Correct answer: Standards Library
The Standards Library captures the standards with which new architectures must comply, including industry standards, products, and services from selected vendors.
Question 6: What is the purpose of the 'Architecture Capability' component in the Architecture Repository?
- To document enterprise IT skills inventory
- To define the parameters, structures, and processes that support governance of the Architecture Repository (Correct answer)
- To store architecture project plans
- To track hardware asset inventories
Correct answer: To define the parameters, structures, and processes that support governance of the Architecture Repository
The Architecture Capability component defines the structures, processes, roles, skills, and responsibilities required to operate the architecture function within the organization.
