The SvcV-1 Service Context Description Viewpoint is dedicated to the identification of services, service items, and their interconnexions.

With the MEGA Suite for DoDAF 2 product, the SvcV-1 Service Context Description Viewpoint is based on service taxonomy concept whitch is basically a system of classification designed to organize knowledge according to the service perspective, and to facilitate the harmonization of services across several domains (or several architectures). Its general purpose is for organizing one’s knowledge of something into categories of similar things, in order to understand something better through comparison with other similar things. In the Service Context Description Viewpoint, the service taxonomy represents the operational domain’s knowledge, as described in the Operational View, in terms of services, structured in some useful way. The definitions of the services are defined in ScvV-2.

The different services are classified as operations, application or information services.

With the MEGA Suite for DoDAF 2 product, the user can create services with variants. They can also create structure and tree diagrams to decompose and represent the hierarchy of these services.
