TOGAF Architecture Viewpoints (Catalogs, Matrices, Diagrams)
TOGAF architecture viewpoints organized by ADM phase. Each viewpoint corresponds to a catalog, matrix, or diagram defined in the TOGAF Architecture Content Framework. Consistent across TOGAF 9.2 (Chapter 31) and TOGAF 10 (Architecture Content, Chapter 3).

TOGAF Viewpoint Catalog
Classification of TOGAF architecture viewpoints by ADM phase. Each phase produces specific catalogs, matrices, and diagrams as defined in the TOGAF Architecture Content Framework.
This grouping follows the TOGAF ADM phase structure. ArchiMate uses a different grouping (Composition/Support/Cooperation/Realization). ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 does not prescribe a specific grouping.
