About Scenarios
Scenario is a common concept which is used across the DoDAF viewpoints.
Scenarios enable to describe use cases or user stories. We recommend to use them when you need to understand how exchanges are performed.
Types of scenarios
Scenarios can apply to several layers of the enterprise architecture:
• operational (OV-2)
For more details on operational scenarios, see OV-2 Operational Resource Flow Description.• system (SV-10c)
For more details on system scenarios, see SV-10c Systems Event-Trace Description.• service (SVcV-10c)

About Realization and Fulfillment
Realization and fulfillment need to be distinguised as follows:
• Fulfillment refers to the provision of services or functionalities.
A particular system fulfills project management functionalities.
• Realization refers to compliance to an operating model.
A particular system realizes a logical application or a business function. It conforms to the standard architecture of management project tools.
In this example the logical application is "Standard Project Management System".About Object Life
Object life represents development of a component of your repository as it is actually planned following analyses carried out.
An object life is the set of time periods representing the current schedule of states for an object.The life of an object is a set of time periods representing the real calendar of object states. Setting the life of an object enables you to view the life of components though a Gantt chart.
Here are the Viewpoints where the object life concept is used:
About Owned and Imported Object Lists
When viewpoints display lists of objects, HOPEX DoDAF offers two different lists:
• Owned objects
This list displays objects owned by the current enterprise.
• Imported objects
This list displays objects which are not owned by the current enterprise. Still they are displayed here so that you could use them.
