When we describe the data architecture we describe four elements–data needs, major sources of data, major types of data, and the required data management resources. Navigate is model-centric. There are four enterprise architecture models that describe your data architecture – the subject model, subject area model, logical data model, and logical document model. When the data architecture is combined with application architecture focus on the structure and interaction of the applications that … manage the […]
Read MoreTOGAF® ADM Phase C – Develop the Application Architecture We develop information systems architecture, which is made of the application architecture and data architecture, in TOGAF ADM Phase C.
