1. WMA Architecture Federation and Integration Project WG Meeting February 5, 2014 (Draft)
Bill Piazza
Architecture Federation Branch Chief
JS J6 / DD C5I

2. Agenda WMAAFIP Portal Update
JIE Support Status
DoD CIO CM Standards
Admin/Dashboards
AV-1/AV-2 Import
NIEM Implementation Status
DMDC Services/Accessibility Control to Projects
CRM Import and Management
Planned schedule for WMA Architecture Development Standards
Portal Training
Partner Status Updates
AF Migration Status

3. JIE Support Status Maintain 2 Areas on the Portal to support JIE
JIE (RA’s, EA’s ICD, CONOPS, and overview architectures)
JTSO (solution architecture content developed by the 15+ IDTS)
128 JIE Architecture projects
Handled over 2500 architecture products and related documentation artifacts
Currently about 1200 distinct artifacts hosted
Over 4000 users regularly accessing JIE content
Provide Admin Training and Support
Provide overarching “Portal” CM of content

4. CIO CM Standards Compliance
DoD CIO Arch CM Standards approved by EASB in 9/2014.
Portal design and workflow fully supports.
Portal CM reviews to ensure compliance
Recently architecture developers are drifting away from DoD CIO approved CM standards.
Need to maintain the balance of expedited processing while still meeting CM requirements
Change Logs not included with new versions/revisions
Inconsistent version numbering (version management)
Improper labeling on architecture views
Effective immediately, Portal CM will provide report to Portal Project Manager and Area Manager for any compliance issues
Starting March 15th, 2015, we will begin rejecting content not in compliance with the DoD CIO CM standards until corrections are made and the architectures are compliant.

5. CM Standards Compliance (cont)
Organizations developing content that falls under the applicability of DoD CIO CM plan and content will be posted to the WMA-AFIP portal:
Content needs to be in compliance before we will approve the content for hosting on the portal.
EASB/DoD CIO, as approver for the CM Standards could waiver compliance requirements.
Content that falls under applicability up for review/approval that is not hosted on our portal, we will note non-compliance as part of the review process (as the J6).
Architectures that do not fall under the applicability would not be affected.....

6. Admin Update/Dashboards

7. Dashboard (2)

8. Approval Workflow Process
There are three types of Architecture Status:
Approval Process Status
Version Status
CM Status
Each area can now specify the Approval Process workflow for their respective area
Dashboard can be customized to show any of the architecture status types

9. AV-1/AV-2 Import Capability
Currently provide the capability to import AV-1 and AV-2 data from the provided Excel template
Working on the following updates:
Automatically create project on portal with import of AV-1
Parse from normal word document AV-1 template
Full text search of flat files is now enabled
Means content in various file types is discoverable without extracting data
Does not replace structured data, but allows better discoverability of unstructured information
Testing in staging

10. NIEM Implementation Status
Accompanied DSD NIEM POC to Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI)--GTRI Team provided:
NIEM/Military Operations Domain (MilOps) overview/history
Hands on training of NIEM.gov website
Discussed Information Exchange Package Development (IEPD) process
Briefly covered NIEM Tool Catalog
Highlighted Schema Subset Generation Tool (SSGT)
Discussed establishing a battle rhythm
AID Developers complete recommended NIEM Training modules
Hold virtual Technical Exchange Meetings (TEMs), frequency TBD
Start building NIEM compliant XML schema

11. DMDC Service Implementation
DMDC services provide user authentication with a greater level of fidelity than just CAC attributes
Is key to next phase of access control management on the portal
Current status
MOU with DMDC signed
Test service is enabled
Working code design

12. CRM Import and Management
CRMs have become an inherent part of the architecture review process
Currently some CRMs are loaded with respective architectures on portal
Need a better way to manage CRMS as part of the architecture change management process
Working on process to be able to import standardized CRM template
Allows for automated sorting of comments
Allows for online management of CRM’s

13. WMA Arch Dev Standards 2.0
Currently updating document as we implement views into portal and identify issues
New version will include XML schemas and sections on best practices for COTS tool compliance
Working with Army for Army Architecture Data Standard alignment
Will be implementing compliance checking into portal business rules
Schedule:
Planned for April 2015 JSAP Review
May 2015 Comment Adjudication
June 2015 Signature

14. Portal Content Management Training
Schedule:
Area Manager training: 17 Feb
Area CM training: 17 Feb
Project Manager training: 19 Feb
Future Portal User Training planned, but no date set
Focus of this training in content management and use of new admin pages

15. Air Force WMA Portal Efforts
AFEA 3.7 and the WMA Portal
Currently reviewing the WMA Architecture Standards and evaluating the impact and ROI of imposing them on solution architectures
Developing processes to push AFEA 3.7 and data files to the portal
Developing the architecture review process requirements for future WMA portal functionality
Evaluating the current functionality of the portal against AF needed functionality
Reviewing reports that can be created based on WMA Architecture Standards

16. US(M) EA Efforts
Opportunity: Address approved AF EAE Phase 2 prototype effort to assess architecture Discovery capability of J6 WMA AFIP
Desired Outcomes:
Develop Use Cases & Scenarios for the discovery of architecture information
Pilot one or more Use Cases to demonstrate the Discovery capability of J6 WMA AFIP
Develop Test Scripts for the evaluation of J6 WMA AFIP’s ability to execute the Use Cases
Deliverables:
Use Cases and Scenarios
Test Scripts with documented Test Results
Out Brief of Results and Recommendations to EAE WG, SAF/US(M), ESWG
