Linked.Archi UAF Taxonomy
SKOS taxonomy classifying UAF 1.2 metaclasses by two dimensions: viewpoint (10 viewpoints) and aspect (11 aspects). This dual classification reflects the UAF grid structure where each cell represents a specific combination of viewpoint and aspect. This is not an official OMG document.

Strategic Viewpoint (St)
Enterprise vision, goals, objectives, capabilities, and strategic drivers.
Operational Viewpoint (Op)
Operational activities, performers, exchanges, and constraints independent of implementation.
Services Viewpoint (Sv)
Service-oriented architecture including services, interfaces, contracts, and exchanges.
Personnel Viewpoint (Pr)
Organizations, persons, posts, responsibilities, and organizational resources.
Resources Viewpoint (Rs)
Resource performers, functions, connectors, and exchanges that realize operational concepts.
Security Viewpoint (Sc)
Security assets, controls, enclaves, and constraints protecting the enterprise.
Projects Viewpoint (Pj)
Projects, milestones, and phases that deliver capability increments.
Standards Viewpoint (Sd)
