UAF Viewpoints
UAF Aspects
Access to Viewpoints and Aspects from the Navigation Bar
UAF is composed of a set of deliverables, called viewpoints, which address different parts of an enterprise. These viewpoints are grouped into models. Models that focus on the same perspective are placed in the same viewpoint.
Each viewpoint portrays certain architecture features. Some features span several viewpoints and provide integrity, coherence, and consistency to architecture descriptions.
UAF Viewpoints
 
Viewpoints
Acronym
Description
Architecture Management
Am
Identifies the metadata required to develop a suitable architecture that is fit for its purpose.
Strategy
St
Capability management process. Describes the capability taxonomy, composition, dependencies, and evolution.
Operational
Op
Illustrates the Logical Architecture of the enterprise. Describes the requirements, operational behavior, structure, and exchanges required to support (exhibit) capabilities. Defines all operational elements in an implementation/solution-independent manner.
Services
Sv
The Service-Orientated View (SOV) is a description of services needed to directly support the operational domain as described in the Operational View. A service within MODAF is understood in its broadest sense, as a unit of work through which a provider provides a useful result to a consumer.
DoDAF: The Service Views within the Services Viewpoint describe the design for service-based solutions to support operational development processes (JCIDS) and Defense Acquisition System or capability development within the Joint Capability Area.
Personnel
Pr
Defines and explores organizational resource types. Shows the taxonomy of types of organizational resources as well as connections, interaction and growth over time.
Resources
Rs
Captures a solution architecture consisting of resources, e.g., organizational, software, artifacts, capability configurations, and natural resources that implement the operational requirements.
Further design of a resource is typically detailed in SysML or UML
Security
Sc
Security assets and security enclaves. Defines the hierarchy of security assets and asset owners, security constraints (policy, laws, and guidance), and details where they are located (security enclaves).
Projects
Pj
Describes projects and project milestones, how those projects deliver capabilities, the organizations contributing to the projects, and dependencies between projects.
Standards
Sd
MODAF: Technical Standards Views are extended from the core DoDAF views to include non-technical standards such as operational doctrine, industry process standards, etc.
 
DoDAF: The Standards Views within the Standards Viewpoint are the set of rules governing the arrangement, interaction, and interdependence of solution parts or elements.
Actual Resources
Ar
The analysis, e.g., evaluation of different alternatives, what-if, trade-offs, V&V on the actual resource configurations. Illustrates the expected or achieved actual resource configurations.
