Operational - Taxonomy
The Taxonomy aspect of the Operational view shows the taxonomy of types of Operational Agents.
HOPEX UAF enables you to draw diagrams freehand and connect the shapes to objects of the repository using High Level Operational Concept.
High Level Operational Concept with HOPEX UAF
HOPEX UAF allows you to use drawings to create diagrams from shapes without needing to specify the type of object represented from the start. This feature is based on HOPEX facility based on Sketches and sketching diagrams. See Using High Level Operational Concepts with HOPEX UAF.
This feature makes teamwork easier by using sketches without any methodological or formalism constraints. Sketching diagrams can then be reworked and transformed into diagrams recognized by an HOPEX solution.
For more details on the use of a sketching diagram, see Sketches.A Higth Level Operational Concept diagram consists of Concept Roles connected by Arbitrary Connectors.
An Arbitrary Connector is a link between the two Concept Roles, represented in the form of a stroke.
Available Concept Roles are:
• rectangles 
• rombus 
• circles 
• barrels 
• folded corner rectangles 
You can connect Concept Roles with repository objects representing architecture elements.
For further details, see Connecting a Concept Role with a repository object.
