This document provides an overview of improved mapping and modeling of defense domain architectures. It discusses background and context, problem statement and scope, and solution approaches including graphical, tabular, and textual mappings as well as mapping semantics. Notional meta-models are presented for several DoDAF views. The document concludes with findings on current frameworks and recommendations to improve integration and standardization across frameworks.

Contents (5 of 5): Conclusions
Findings
Ø
Multiple frameworks, based on different terminology
Ø
DoDAF AV-1 underspecified; not an integrating view
Ø
DoDAF [not AV-1] over-specified, missing some concepts.
Recommendations
Ø
Improve mapping to/use of DM2 terms in EA models
Ø
Add AV-1 specification details to navigate the models
Ø
Integrate terms from other major frameworks
Ø
Map all terms, identify all distinct, adopt “best”
Ø
Reduce all Key terms to one (1) taxonomic level
Ø
Remove Views optional among JCIDS documents [DoDI 4630.8]
Ø
Consider Managerial, Analytical, User, Support, Security, Cost Viewpoints.
