Which of the following does TOGAF describe as "the structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles guiding their design and evolution over time"?
TOGAF describes 'the structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles guiding their design and evolution over time' as 'architecture'. This definition encompasses the organization and arrangement of system components, their interactions, and the governing principles that dictate their design and progress.
2.2 What is Architecture in the Context of TOGAF? "architecture" has two meanings depending upon the context: 1. A formal description of a system, or a detailed plan of the system at component level to guide its implementation 2. The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time. https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf91-doc/arch/chap02.html
2. Core Concept 2.2 What is Architecture in the Context of the TOGAF Standard? ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 defines "architecture" as: "The fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its environment embodied in its elements, relationships, and in the principles of its design and evolution." The TOGAF standard embraces but does not strictly adhere to ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 terminology. In addition to the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 definition of "architecture", the TOGAF standard defines a second meaning depending upon the context: "The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time."

The TOGAF standard considers the enterprise as a system and endeavors to strike a balance between promoting the concepts and terminology drawn from relevant standards, and commonly accepted terminology that is familiar to the majority of the TOGAF readership.
