Submit a Defect Report

Submit a single comment .
Submit two or more comments.
How to submit a comment offline.

We request you submit your comments using the forms above or follow the format for offline comments, since this allows us to collate comments automatically into a structured report. We recommend that you use the pdf version of the document for detailed comments so you can reference specific page and section numbers.

Guidelines on Defect Reporting

Comments should be categorized as Editorial, Comment, or Objection with a sub-classification of

  1. Error
  2. Omission
  3. Clarification required

Perceived errors should be filed as either editorial or objection. Requests pointing out an omission in TOGAF should be filed as either comment or objection. Requests for clarification should be filed as a comment. (note that the Forum is not under obligation to provide consulting assistance so requests for advice that are unclear will be summarily rejected).

Editorial errors are for typos etc that can be left to the discretion of the editors. Comments are for issues that you would like addressed but would not object to being left as they are in the document. Objections are for issues where you would vote against adoption of the document in a formal review.

Bug reports sent in this way require you give a page and section number reference for the problem, a clear problem statement together with your proposed action to correct the problem. In effect you should provide an impact analysis as the proposed change to address the problem you have raised.
