Jim, as you may know, APG has created the APG TOGAF Process
Library (ATPL) using EPFC 1.2. The ATPL was built from scratch and does not
incorporate any EPF Practices. APG has also begun working on ATPL Plus (ATPL+)
which describe APG-specific extensions to the base TOGAF. I believe ATPL
consists of 1200+ model elements (that cover the 500+ pages of the TOGAF 8.1.1
specification). A version of ATPL for TOGAF 9 is under development (which is
50% larger than TOGAF 8) that will be done in EPFC 1.5/RMC 7.5.
We have created one such plugin – ATPL+ Govern Solution
Architectures (ATPL+GSA). We then used ATPL+GSA as the basis for integrating
TOGAF with RUP and created ATPL+ IBM Rational Unified Process (ATPL+RUP), which
we did with RMC 7.2. We are in the process of developing ATPL+ Telelogic System
Architect (ATPL+TSA – I guess we’ll have to rename it ATPL+RSA now –
a little confusing, but, oh well). ATPL+TSA is a set of tool mentors that
extend ATPL+ for using System Architect to do enterprise architecture using
TOGAF.
You can find out more about all these at our website at:

Let me know if there’s anything else you need that would
be helpful.

Subject: [epf-dev] Query: Who is Building Stand-alone EPF Content?
Hello,
I'm interested in finding out how many people are creating content using EPF
Composer, but are not using the EPF Practice Library. Or, you're just using the
EPF Practice Library for a minority of the content you publish. It would be
useful to understand how many organizations are creating a (comparatively)
large amount of content as opposed to creating small extensions to existing
practices.
I'd appreciate it if you could respond to the newsgroup or to me personally if
you prefer with a quick note letting me know approximately how many
pages/elements you're creating, and the nature of the project (large enterprise
content deployment, content that covers specialized areas, etc).
This is useful for the EPF community to know as people want to provide services
or training around the way the tool and content is actually being used.
Much thanks,
