I'm pretty sure the TOGAF Library has sections on Catalogs, Matrices and Diagrams, as well as Standard Information Base and Governance Log. Let me double-check that.

I'm going with C. The employee is responsible for their own skills improvement. Anything else would be too much micromanagement in a matrix organization. It's all about flexibility and shared responsibility, am I right?
