DoDAF / DM2 version 2.01 1 April 2010

1. Purpose

The purpose of this document is to describe changes made to DoDAF - DM2 2.01 to create

DoDAF - DM2 2.02.

2. Scope

The DoDAF 2.02, with its accompanying meta model, the DoDAF Meta Model (DM2), was baselined in August 2010. Improvements and corrections have been collected from the DoD EA community. These were logged and tracked by the DoDAF - DM2 Work Group (WG) secretariats following the processes and procedures documented in DoDAF - DM2 Configuration

Management Plan. These were prioritized and adjudicated by the DoDAF - DM2 WG in a consensual manner though weekly DoDAF - DM2 WG meetings. WG actionees implemented the changes as per WG adjudication and reported back to the WG for WG review of the implementation. Upon technical cutoff for DoDAF - DM2 version 2.02, the status of DoDAF -

DM2 change requests was:

3. Summary of Improvements Made in 2.02

There were 29 DoDAF-DM2 Action Items / Change Requests resolved by version 2.02. These are shown in detail in the table on the following pages. The changes fall into the following categories:

a. A Reification data group and associated diagram was created because of the key role reification plays in architectural and service descriptions and in associated system engineering.

b. The adoption of the IDEAS Measure model was completed. This had been started in 2.01 but was allowed to be completed by the addition of Properties of types and individuals.

c. Triples and tuples of tuples, though syntactically allowed, were not semantically defined and so they were restructured into couples that could be specialized from semantically defined IDEAS couples.

d. Began work on fine structure for Rules, Guidance, and Agreement including supertyping how rules constrain activities and role of parties to an agreement.

e. Redefined PersonType to be a PersonRoleType.

f. Continued work with OASIS, NCOIC, and OMG SoAML to refine the Services model including removal of service channel and handling of service layers via reification. This work is still on-going.

g. Improved the structure of the relationship between measuring rules and units of measure.

There is still work to be done here.

h. There were some cases of possible redundancy in the tuples such as

ActivityPerformedByPerformer and activityPerformableUnderCondition. These were restructured.

i. The MODAF concept of Enterprise Phase was determined to be most equivalent to

DoDAF’s Capability phase, which is a state of a Capability.

j. Some cleanup of Vision and Desired Effect structure that was a major change in 2.01.

k. Minor changes, e.g., for model formality, DoDAF documentation, XSD documentation.
