DoDAF 2.02 (DoD Architecture Framework Version 2.02)
DoDAF 2.02 (Change 1, January 2015) is the US Department of Defense's architecture framework: a data-centric framework with the DoDAF Meta-model (DM2), four conformance levels and eight viewpoints whose 52 models describe capabilities, operations, services, systems, data, projects and standards so that architecture descriptions support DoD decision processes (JCIDS, PPBE, acquisition, systems engineering, operations) and can be exchanged through the Physical Exchange Specification.
DoDAF 2.02 (DoD Architecture Framework Version 2.02) is a compliance framework from United States (Department of Defense and its components; used by allied defence organisations) with 10 domains and 75 controls. The largest domains are Services Viewpoint models (SvcV-1 to SvcV-10c) – DoDAF 2.02 (DoD Architecture Framework Version 2.02) (13 controls), Systems Viewpoint models (SV-1 to SV-10c) – DoDAF 2.02 (DoD Architecture Framework Version 2.02) (13 controls), DoDAF Meta-model (DM2) data groups and their use in DoD core processes (Volume II chapter 2) – DoDAF 2.02 (DoD Architecture Framework Version 2.02) (12 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
