5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Level: Intermediate

This session will focus primarily on the use of TOGAF for implementing Enterprise architecture. There is a lot of focus on the EA Frameworks like Zachman, E2AF and so on when it comes to implementing the data architecture and subsequently, enterprise architecture. Although all these frameworks provide an excellent classification approach, they do not provide actionable steps that you could use to build out your enterprise architecture. TOGAF, as a methodology, exactly fills this gap by providing a process to populate your enterprise architecture framework. As part of the enterprise architecture build-out, TOGAF also recommends what is known as a Enterprise Continuum (equivalent to a metadata repository) as a key component of your implementation strategy. In this session, I would like to talk about the key concepts of TOGAF as they apply to Enterprise Architecture, Data architecture, and specifically to a metadata architecture implementation.

I am working as an Enterprise Architect with Intel Corporation, specializing in Metadata Repository, Reuse Initiatives, and enterprise architecture related projects within Intel.
