How is the III-RM classified in terms of the Enterprise Continuum?

The III-RM, or Information Infrastructure Reference Model, is classified as a Common Systems Architecture within the Enterprise Continuum because it serves as a framework that provides guidance on the integration and interoperability of information systems and technology infrastructure across various industries.

This classification emphasizes its role in defining the fundamental concepts and components that enable effective design and management of information systems. It allows organizations to develop a standard approach to architecture that can be shared across similar systems and solutions, fostering consistency and reusability.

Additionally, the Common Systems Architecture helps organizations understand the systems that support shared services and applications, which is essential for interoperability and integration in today’s complex IT environments. This aligns well with the goals of TOGAF to ensure seamless communication and functionality throughout an enterprise's architecture landscape.
