Explanation

This is the ISO/IEC 42010-influenced definition of Architecture used within TOGAF. TOGAF adopts a dual definition: (1) a formal description of a system at component level to guide implementation, and (2) the structure of components, their interrelationships, and the principles governing their design and evolution. This is different from an Artifact (a work product such as a diagram or document), a Deliverable (a formally reviewed and approved work product), a Model (a representation of a subject), or a View (a representation of a system from a particular stakeholder perspective).
