The Open Group Architecture Framework TOGAF - 2008 Edition (Incorporating 9.0)

This is the Official Hardcopy publication of The Open Group Architecture Framework. TOGAF is a framework - a detailed method and a set of supporting tools - for developing an enterprise architecture, developed by members of The Open Group Architecture Forum. TOGAF Version 9 provides a wide-ranging set of revisions to the TOGAF specification to improve the value of the TOGAF framework. It is an evolution from TOGAF 8.1.1, thereby preserving existing investment in TOGAF, and adds further detail and clarification to what is already proven. It may be used freely by any organization wishing to develop an enterprise architecture for use within that organization (subject to the Conditions of Use). In this book, you will find answers to questions such as: What is an architecture framework? What kind of 'architecture' are we talking about? How does my organization benefit from using TOGAF?
