Explanation

The Architecture Definition Document (ADD) is the primary deliverable container for core architectural artifacts created during an ADM project. It spans all architecture domains (Business, Data, Application, Technology) and includes both baseline and target architecture descriptions, as well as gap analyses. While it does contain views of the end architecture product, its primary purpose as defined by TOGAF is to act as the container artifact - the document that holds all outputs from architectural work across the phases of the ADM cycle.
