The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) provides process and procedures for the design, implementation and governance of enterprise architecture. The framework can be used as a set of building blocks to develop an enterprise architecture for use within an organisation.
TOGAF is developed and maintained by members of The Open Group, working within the Architecture Forum. I plan to use elements of the framework to supplement and rationalise my design theory, which I hope will aid me with my VCDX defence.
