Key Modeling Techniques

Abstract

TOGAF places particular emphasis on models and on the construction of a repository. Modeling languages help to better formalize knowledge, analyze problems, and design solutions. However, they constitute a toolbox whose uses, potential benefits, and limitations must be clearly understood. Architects need to understand how to use and benefit from models.
