Which one of the following statements about viewpoints is correct?
Which one of the following statements about viewpoints is correct?
A viewpoint is used as a template to create a view. It serves as a specification of the conventions for a particular kind of architecture view, establishing how to construct, interpret, and use the view in addressing specific concerns about a system-of-interest.
Basic Concepts A viewpoint defines the perspective from which a view is taken. More specifically, a viewpoint defines: how to construct and use a view (by means of an appropriate schema or template); the information that should appear in the view; the modelling techniques for expressing and analysing the information; and a rationale for these choices (e.g., by describing the purpose and intended audience of the view). https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf7-doc/arch/p4/views/vus_intro.htm
Correct Answer --- C 3.18 Architecture Viewpoint A specification of the conventions for a particular kind of architecture view. Note: An architecture viewpoint can also be seen as the definition or schema for that kind of architecture view. It establishes the conventions for constructing, interpreting, and using an architecture view to address a specific concern (or set of concerns) about a system-of-interest.
I think the answer should be "A" A specification of the conventions for a particular kind of architecture view. https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf92-doc/arch/
https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/chap31.html Architecture viewpoints are generic, and can be stored in libraries for re-use; an architecture view is always specific to the architecture for which it is created. From above it says view is specific to architecture but not the viewpoint so A may not be the right answer
C. A viewpoint is used as a template to create a view
C is correct http://www.opengroup.org/public/arch/p4/views/vus_intro.htm
