Online DoDAF Training in Norway

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is an architectural framework designed for the United States Department of Defense. It provides a structured approach to addressing specific stakeholder concerns through various viewpoints organized into different views.

DoDAF defines a series of views that serve as tools for visualizing, understanding, and integrating the extensive scope and complexities of an architecture description. These views can be presented in tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal, or graphical formats.

This framework is particularly well-suited for large systems with complex integration and interoperability requirements. One of its unique features is the inclusion of operational views that detail the external customer's operating environment, where the developing system will function.

UPDM is an initiative by the Object Management Group (OMG) aimed at developing a modeling standard that supports both the United States Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). This modeling standard is known as the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).
