In what TOGAF ADM phase is the Information map translated into data models?

Phase C: Information Systems Architectures is where the detailed architecture for data and applications is developed. Specifically, during the Data Architecture portion of Phase C, high-level information concepts, often captured in an information map from Phase B (Business Architecture), are refined and translated. This process involves creating formal data models (conceptual, logical, and eventually physical) to describe the structure, relationships, and management of an organization's data assets in support of the business architecture.

A. Phase A focuses on establishing the Architecture Vision and scope, which is too high-level for detailed data modeling.
B. Phase E is concerned with identifying implementation opportunities and solutions, not developing the core data architecture.
C. The Preliminary Phase prepares the organization for architecture work; it does not involve creating architecture content like data models.
