TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 28

Which of the following best describes the TOGAF Technical Reference Model?

Answer options

• A. It is a detailed data model that can be tailored to specific industries
• B. It is an example of a Common Systems Architecture
• C. It is a fundamental architecture upon which more specific architectures can be based
• D. It is a model of application components and application services software, including brokering applications

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the TOGAF Technical Reference Model indeed serves as a foundational architecture that supports the development of more specialized architectures. Option A is incorrect as it refers to a data model rather than a framework. Option B is misleading as it does not capture the essence of the Technical Reference Model. Option D, while related to applications, does not accurately describe the role of the Technical Reference Model.
