DoDAF Elements is a DM2-compliant repository that facilitates the consistency,
correctness and completeness of DoDAF views and products across multiple modelings tools from
various vendors, with various metamodel implemention variants.
The DM2 (DoDAF 2 Metamodel) is a formal model of architecture products, structures, and their interrelationships. The DoDAF Elements federated repository facilitates consistency and DM2 compliance across all DoDAF views and products. DoDAF Elements features the data-driven generation of selected products and views from information extracted from various modeling tools. The DoDAF Elements DM2 implementation allows our clients to manage and gather Architecture data in exact accordance with the DM2 standard. Being based on the DM2 standard, DoDAF Elements allows our clients to store architecture products from multiple, framework-based architecture projects in a common way, so that products from different projects, organizations, or Services can be analyzed and compared.
The Elements Repository auto-configures based on the metadata in modeling tools, such as IBM System Architect, so legacy data can be easily loaded, analyzed and managed.
DoDAF Elements is ideally suited to optimize the governance of federated information environments like the Global Information Grid (GIG) which is an information environment composed of interoperable computing and communications components. DoDAF Elements provides a frame of reference at a higher level of abstraction than model-centric tools in support of service-oriented architectural concepts, reference architectures, and reference models. The federated architecture supported by DoDAF Elements allows capital planners to manage and influence the myriad of loosely coupled “nodes on the grid” that are administered by numerous autonomous organizations and entities. The collection, management, and modeling of these service-oriented nodes necessitates user roles, collaboration, process enforcement, and information management that is best facilitated using a repository-centric approach as supported by DoDAF Elements.
DoDAF Elements can easily integrate with other products supporting import/export of data or featuring an interfacing capability. Using DoDAF Elements our clients can integrate metadata from different tools, different model schemas, and different methodologies to provide an integrated and coherent view of enterprise information.
