Which of the following is described by the TOGAF Architecture Content Framework as a type of artifact that shows relationships between things?
In the TOGAF Architecture Content Framework, artifacts are classified into three types: catalogs, matrices, and diagrams. Catalogs list things, diagrams show pictures of things, and matrices show relationships between things. Therefore, the type of artifact that shows relationships between things is called a matrix.
■ An artifact is an architectural work product that describes an aspect of the architecture Artifacts are generally classified as catalogs (lists of things), matrices (showing relationships between things), and diagrams (pictures of things). Examples include a requirements catalog, business interaction matrix, and a use-case diagram. An architectural deliverable may contain many artifacts and artifacts will form the content of the Architecture Repository.
