The TOGAF 9 certification program is a knowledge-based certification program. It has two levels, leading to certification for TOGAF 9 Foundation and TOGAF 9 Certified, respectively. The purpose of certification to TOGAF 9 Certified is to provide validation that, in addition to the knowledge and comprehension of TOGAF 9 Foundation level, the Candidate is able to analyze and apply this knowledge. The learning objectives at this level therefore focus on application and analysis in addition to knowledge and comprehension.This Study Guide supports students in preparation for the TOGAF 9 Part 2 Examination, leading to TOGAF 9 Certified.This third edition contains minor updates to remove references to the TOGAF 8-9 Advanced Bridge Examination1 and also adds four bonus practice examination questions to Appendix B.It gives an overview of every learning objective for the TOGAF 9 Certified Syllabus beyond the Foundation level.

The ArchiMate(r) Specification, an Open Group Standard, defines an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms. The ArchiMate language enables Enterprise Architects to describe, analyze, and visualize the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. This book is the official specification of the ArchiMate 3.0 modeling language from The Open Group. ArchiMate 3.0 is a major update to ArchiMate 2.1.The ArchiMate 3.0 Specification supports modeling throughout the TOGAF(r) Architecture Development Method (ADM). New features in Version 3.0 include elements for modeling the enterprise at a strategic level, such as capability, resource, and outcome. It also includes support to model the physical world of materials and equipment. Furthermore, the consistency and structure of the language have been improved, definitions have been aligned with other standards, and its usability has been enhanced in various other ways. The intended audience is threefold: .Enterprise Architecture practitioners, such as architects (e.g., business, application, information, process, infrastructure, and, obviously, enterprise architects), senior and operational management, project leaders, and anyone committed to work within the reference framework defined by the Enterprise Architecture. .Those who intend to implement the ArchiMate language in a software tool; they will find a complete and detailed description of the language in this book. .The academic community, on which we rely for amending and improving the language, based on state-of-the-art research results in the Enterprise Architecture field."

The TOGAF standard is a framework - a detailed method and a set of supporting tools - for developing an Enterprise Architecture, developed by members of The Open Group Architecture Forum. The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 is an update providing additional guidance, correcting errors, introducing structural changes to support the TOGAF Library (an extensive collection of reference material), and removing obsolete content. It may be used freely by any organization wishing to develop an Enterprise Architecture for use within that organization (subject to the Conditions of Use).
