Consider the image showing basic architectural concepts.
What are items A and B?
In the context of architectural frameworks, 'A' represents an Architecture Viewpoint, and 'B' represents an Architecture View. An Architecture Viewpoint is a specification that defines the conventions for the construction, interpretation, analysis, and use of architecture views within a specific architecture domain. An Architecture View is a representation of a whole system from the perspective of a related set of concerns. The image provided aligns with this understanding where 'A' (Architecture Viewpoint) governs 'B' (Architecture View).
Correct answer: B https://pubs.opengroup.org/togaf-standard/architecture-content/chap03.html#tag_03_04 3.4.2 Architecture Views and Architecture Viewpoints in Enterprise Architecture Now let us map this example to the Enterprise Architecture. Consider two stakeholders in a new small computing system: the users and the developers. The users of the system have an architecture viewpoint that reflects their concerns when interacting with the system, and the developers of the system have a different architecture viewpoint. Architecture views that are developed to address either of the two architecture viewpoints are unlikely to exhaustively describe the whole system, because each perspective reduces how each sees the system.
