Cross-Domain Relationships Diagram
The Cross-Domain Relationships Diagram enables you to get a “50,000 foot”, top-to-bottom view of aspects of the organization – from Business Capabilities or Strategies, down to the Application Versions, and Technologies deployed to enable them.
The diagram enables you to model most TOGAF definition types, and additional ones can be added through usrprops.txt.
