Tafim refers to the Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management, which was proposed by the United States Department of Defense. It is a guide or set of guidelines for managing information in a technical architecture framework. It is also known as Volume 8 of the Department of Defense Technical Architecture Framework. TOGAF was originally developed as a Tafim.From: Enterprise Architecture A to Z [2019], Smart city data architecture for energy prosumption in municipalities: concepts, requirements, and future directions [2020], International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors - 3 Volume Set [2019]

The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a standardized approach for enterprise architecture and is maintained by The Open Group. A conglomerate of hundreds of enterprises covering both the nonprofit and profit sectors (TOGAF 2011). TOGAF was originally developed as a Technical Architecture Framework mainly for Information Management (TAFIM) as proposed by the United States Department of Defense. Accordingly, in 1995 the initial version of TOGAF was established as a progression of TAFIM. Ever since TOGAF has become a universal accepted framework, which is available freely (Cameron and McMillan 2013). Nowadays, enterprises such as HP, IBM, and SAP have employed TOGAF and improved it with their own architectural experience and knowledge. TOGAF can be adopted to provide detailed reference on enterprise architecture, which includes business, data, application, and technology layers (Greefhorst and Proper 2011). In addition, TOGAF standard has a distinct recommended standards, compliant products, and common vocabulary that assist the processing of EA implementation and is currently the most adopted EA framework in organizations (Cameron and McMillan 2013).
