TOGAF ABBs, SBBs, Views & Viewpoints

Which of the following is true about Views and Viewpoints?

• A viewpoint can be thought of as a perspective and be supported by a template and/or palette to create conformant views
• A view can always be reverse engineered from a viewpoint
• Views and Viewpoints are only important for Part IV of TOGAF and not relevant for Part II
• TOGAF's TRM and III-RM are examples of TOGAF Viewpoints

The concepts related to building blocks link most directly to the Enterprise Continuum & Tools part of TOGAF, whereas those related to Views and Viewpoints are most directly linked to the Architecture Capability Framework.

• True
• False

Which of the following is true about the Enterprise Continuum?

• It contains two levels: the Initial Risk and the Residual Risk
• It contains four levels: Foundation, Common Systems, Industry, and Organization-Specific
• It contains both ABBs and SBBs
• It is used in TOGAF to store artifacts and deliverables

Which of the following is true about the TOGAF Architecture Content Framework?

• It has a content metamodel, guidelines and techniques
• It has a viewpoint library of catalogs, matrices and diagrams
• It has two levels, the architecture continuum and the solutions continuum
• Its key part is the Architecture Governance Framework to be sure Architecture Contracts are well-managed

Which of the following is true about how building blocks and artifacts relate to each other?

• SBBs describe viewpoints
• Building blocks and artifacts are synonymous
• Building blocks describe artifacts
• Artifacts describe building blocks

Which of the following is true regarding the Architecture Repository, Building Blocks, and Artifacts? [Note: the 3 items mentioned do in fact exist in the setup of the Repository.]

• The Content Metamodel part of the Architecture Repository has the building blocks and related elements that can be described by the views in the Architecture Landscape
• The Reference Library part of the Architecture Repository has the Architecture views
• The Architecture Landscape part of the Architecture Repository contains the reference models
• There is no relationship between these items.

TOGAF has two reference models. Which of the following is NOT true about them?

• They are examples of ABBs
• They can be related to the Enterprise Continuum
• One is the BRM  (Business Reference Model)
• One describes a generic operating environment with platform services, while the other is basically an Application Architecture Reference Model

TOGAF's Content Framework is the core part of TOGAF because visualization is the essence of TOGAF and all other Architecture Frameworks.

• True
• False

Which of the following does NOT correlate with what a building block is or should reflect?

• Standards are building blocks, as are drivers and goals; in fact, they are probably the most important building blocks
• Building blocks have functionality and "published" interfaces so as to be able to identify and possible replace them
• Choices about building blocks, important to decisions about new or enhanced business capability, should consider the effect on the Architecture Landscape
• Something not yet developed could also be considered as a solution building blocks, just as legacy components could be

Which of the following is true about ABBs?

• ABBs stands for Abstract Building Blocks
• They can be found in TOGAF's Architecture Continuum part of the Enterprise Continuum
• They are defined in TOGAF's ADM, starting in Phase E
• They represent specific (versus fundamental) functionality and the selected set of interfaces
