The Open Group defines TOGAF™ as a framework - a detailed method and a set of supporting tools for developing IT and Enterprise Architecture. There are many architecture frameworks, however TOGAF™ is unique in containing a method for developing architecture; the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM), that can be used with other popular frameworks. TOGAF is the result of best practice that has been codified by the The Open Group's Architecture Forum. This has been done through the collaboration and participation of leading industry practitioners. Consequently, TOGAF's great strength is that it is non-proprietary and free to use. TOGAF™ 9, as well as providing an Architecture Development Method, it now provides a Content Framework and Capability Framework that can be used as the basis for creating an organisation's enterprise architecture. TOGAF™ 9 also provides a variety of tools, building blocks and resources to facilitate the process, design and development of enterprise architecture across four domains; Business, Data, Applications and Technology.
