NOV-2 Operational Node Connectivity Description
NOV-2 describes the operational nodes of architectures. Each node can be subdivided into different parts that are modeled as Operational Components. These subdivisions are typed by sub-operational nodes.
In HOPEX operational nodes are called Business Functions.
NOV-2 Structure metamodel
In the example below, one operational node (1) contains two operational components. These components reference sub-operational nodes (2 and 3).
NOV-2 Structure example
The NOV-2 metamodel is useful in defining the connectivity between operational components via interactions.
