ArchiMate and TOGAF Layers
The idea of layer, as mentioned already, is not new. A well-established implementation of architecture
layering is used by TOGAF.
Their “Architecture Development Method” addresses a Business, Information System and Technology
layer, all of which are matched with the ArchiMate layers. The Information System, according to
TOGAF consists of Applications and Data – these are both covered in the ArchiMate Application
layer.
TOGAF address other areas such as establishing the context of systems and planning how revised /
new architectures are implemented. Both of these are also represented in ArchiMate, along with the
idea of “Requirements”.
