Metamodel manifest for DoDAF 2.02. Ties together the DoDAF entity ontology, viewpoint taxonomy, and viewpoint definitions into a single discoverable resource. DoDAF 2.0 shifted from rigid "products" to a data-centric approach with "Fit-for-Purpose" presentation. This metamodel captures the underlying data model that the 8 viewpoints and 52 DoDAF-described Models present.

The complete DoDAF 2.02 metamodel definition, aggregating the entity ontology, viewpoint taxonomy, and viewpoint definitions.

Based on Framework

DoDAF

The U.S. Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), version 2.02. A comprehensive framework for developing architecture descriptions that support decision-making across the DoD. DoDAF 2.0 organizes architectural data into 8 viewpoints (All, Capability, Data and Information, Operational, Project, Services, Standards, Systems) containing 52 DoDAF-described Models. DoDAF is prescribed for use in the U.S. Department of Defense and has influenced NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) and other defense architecture frameworks.

Constituent Resources

Model Concepts (OWL Ontology)

onto

Linked.Archi ontology aligned to the U.S. Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) version 2.02. Models the core entity types used across DoDAF viewpoints as OWL classes extending arch:Element, and the key relationships as owl:ObjectProperty. DoDAF 2.0 shifted focus from static products to architectural data — this ontology captures the underlying data model that the viewpoints present. This is not an official U.S. Department of Defense document.

Architecture Viewpoints

viewpoints

DoDAF 2.02 viewpoints modeled as arch:Viewpoint individuals. Each viewpoint corresponds to a DoDAF-described Model (AV, CV, DIV, OV, PV, SvcV, StdV, SV). DoDAF 2.0 uses "Fit-for-Purpose" presentation — these viewpoints define the data content, not rigid visual templates.
