Detailed Description of OV-6a
For more information see the DoDAF web site: OV-6a: Operational Rules Model
Operational rules are assigned to a particular organization.
OV-6a specifies the operational or business rules that are constraints to an enterprise, a mission, operation, business, or an architecture. While other OV models (OV-1, OV-2, and OV-5) describe the structure of a business (what the business can do, for the most part) they do not describe what the business must do, or what it cannot do.
Rules are modeled in relation to the constraining objects. A rule can be potentially linked to any object of the architecture. This is done within the different diagrams showing the objects to be constrained or by adding new rules via the property pages.
