DoDAF V2.0 DoDAF Metamodel (DM2) Fit For Purpose Presentation Dashboards Graphical Depictions Reference Models Fusion Products Composite DoDAF V2.0 DoDAF V1.5 Standards View Operational Rest of OVs All TVs All All AVs Systems View All “Systems” Versions of SV Products Data & Information View OV-7 Net-Centric SV-11 All “Service” Versions of SV Products DoDAF Metamodel (DM2) DoDAF 2.0 is a more focused approach to supporting decision makers than prior versions. In the past the decision maker would look at DoDAF offerings and decide which were appropriate to their decision process. An example is the JCIDS process architecture requirements inside their documentation (IDC, CDD, CPD, etc.). Additionally, older version architecture description products were “hard-coded,” so to speak, as to content and how they were visualized. Many times this lead to a lack of understanding and usefulness for the intended audience. DoDAF 2.0, based on process owner input, increased focus on architecture data, and a new approach for presenting architecture information has addressed the issues. BUILD ONE: The original views (OV, SV,TV, AV) have had their content reorganized to better address their purpose The Services portion of the older “Systems and Services” view is now a net-centric view that addresses in more detail our net-centric or services oriented implementations All of the views of data, be they conceptual, logical, or physical, have been place in one view rather than spread out through all of the views. BUILD TWO: The new Systems view better accommodates our legacy system descriptions. The new Standards view can now describe technical, business, and commercial standards applicable to our systems and services. The operational view now can describe rules and constraints for any function (business, intelligence, warfighting, etc.) rather that just those derived from data relationships. The standards view also now contains standards that can be applied from a technical, business, doctrinal, or commercial perspective. BUILD THREE: The emphasis within the Department on Capability Portfolio Management and feedback from the Acquisition community, the Capability and Project Views have been added through a “best of breed” analysis of the MODAF and NAF constructs for both. Workshops with the Systems Engineering community have brought them and the architecture community closer together on defining the DoDAF architecture content that would be useful to the Systems Engineering process and has resulted in a new Systems Engineering View. There is also a approach to the presentation of architecture description content that moves away from analytic and narrowly focused architect portrayals for architects. The term we have coined (stolen from the Air Force) is “fit for purpose” presentation. Through various techniques and applications, the presentation of architecture description data will increase customer understanding and architecture’s usefulness to decision making by putting the data underlying the architectural models into the context of the problem space for each decision maker.

UPDM in General The UPDM Group was setup to: UPDM is an OMG initiative to develop a modeling standard that supports both the USA Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF) The UPDM Group was setup to: Significantly enhance the quality, productivity, and effectiveness of architecture modeling Promote architecture model reuse and maintainability Improve tool interoperability and communications between stakeholders Reduce training impacts due to different tool implementations and semantics Improve the integration between system of systems modeling and system modeling to support post acquisition life cycle design modeling DNDAF NAF UPDM DoDAF 1.5 MODAF 1.2 UPDM is an Object Management Group (OMG) initiative to develop a modeling standard that supports both the USA Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). The modeling standard is called the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM). The UPDM Group was setup to: Significantly enhance the quality, productivity, and effectiveness associated with enterprise and system of systems architecture modeling Promote architecture model reuse and maintainability Improve tool interoperability and communications between stakeholders Reduce training impacts due to different tool implementations and semantics Improve the integration between system of systems modeling and system modeling to support post acquisition life cycle design modeling The UPDM Group consists of fourteen companies distributed around the world. You can see a list of these companies in the member section on this web site. 18
Need for UPDM Motivation Significantly enhance the quality, productivity, and effectiveness associated with enterprise and system of systems architecture modeling, promote architecture model reuse and maintainability, improve tool interoperability and communications between stakeholders, and reduce training impacts due to different tool implementations and semantics. Improve the integration between system of systems modeling and system modeling to support post acquisition life cycle design modeling.

DKO CADM 4630 80XX XML Metadata Registry SFIS Taxonomy Detailed Standards & Information DISR NCID Technical Direction Query Technical Direction Query Capability GIG Technical Guidance Standards & Specifications For Interoperability From the left side of the figure, the Type II Technical Direction detailed standards and specifications information are obtained from Structured and Unstructured sources such as DISR, DARS, DOL, CADM, 4630, etc. which provide the necessary content and references contributes to the Type II Technical Direction. From the right side of the figure, the identified interoperability standards and specifications that are applicable to the capability development area contribute to the Type II Technical Direction. These interoperability standards and specifications will have to be identified by system engineers and functional experts for each. As indicated by the green arrows in the figure, the “assembling” of the set of interoperability standards and specifications for the capability portfolio area, JCA, COI, and GIG Governance Processes that a developing capability touches becomes the Type II Technical Direction (for that developing capability). The mapping of these comprise the targeted Type II Technical Direction for the user. A portal for the delivery of Type II Technical Direction will allow a developer to determine the minimum interoperability standards and specifications. By querying on the capability portfolio area/JCA/COI that are drawn on for the capability to be developed, the portal can “assemble” the Type II Technical Direction. For example, A team building a Spend Analysis Capability under the acquisition portfolio needs to implement the following functions: 1) provide financial information to users on the GIG 2) publish the financial reporting service to the GIG Using the Type II portal, the team can query for the capability portfolio/JCA/GIG Governance process/COI utilized. Based on the identified interoperability standards and specifications within the Business Mission Area portfolio to exchange financial information on the GIG, the portal (portlet, service) retrieves the detailed information from the standards source. Also, within the EIEMA Portfolio, the portal (portlet, can find the publication standards for the Enterprise Service Discovery Service. XML Schemas/ Components
