The Overarching Architecture (OA), which may be thought of as NATOs Enterprise Architecture, provides consistent context for NATO and associated national architecture development. OA will be linked to all subordinate architectures: this allows architecture to be a more effective tool to support systems development. OA will be linked to all subordinate architectures: this allows architecture to be a more effective tool to support systems development. OA focuses on the interfaces between systems. As a consequence services needs to be designed: NNEC Services Framework OA focuses on the interfaces between systems. As a consequence services needs to be designed: NNEC Services Framework NATO UNCLASSIFIED7 Slide 88 Three classes of Services Users: Human and information dimension User Information Services NATO Missions: Real-world action and effects Cognitive dimension Operational Services Information Technology: Computer systems & Comms dimension NNEC Technical Services Users View Builders View What the operation needs to achieve What CIS needs to provide What technology needs to support Slide 9NNEC Services Framework NNEC Services Framework NATO/EAPC UNCLASSIFIED Operational Services User Information Services NNEC Technical Services Users View Builders View Slide 10NNEC Services Framework Operational Services User Information Services NNEC Technical Services Use of Services Framework Use of Services Framework Concepts, Doctrine & Organization Operational Capabilities Information Requirements Candidate Information Services Required UIS Mapping Fan out CoI specific Common / shared Implementation Objectives Implementation Priorities Required Components Existing New Implementation harmonization Slide 11NATO Architecture Framework v3 NC3A is tasked by NATO C3 Board (Nations) to apply the NAF v3 to all its architectural activity, including the maintenance of CIS baselines, and to ensure that all architectural data is stored electronically in an architecture repository (NAR) such that it is available for re-use and export in accordance with the NATO Meta Model & Exchange Data Exchange Mechanism. Tasked NATO CIS Services Agency (NCSA) to utilize NAF v3 and extant NAR data when providing, operating and maintaining CIS services and for the maintenance of their CIS baselines NATO/EAPC UNCLASSIFIED Slide 12NAF v3 Principles Wider application of the architecture products, serving a broader audience (Ch 2) Wider application of the architecture products, serving a broader audience (Ch 2) Use of 7 types of views and constituting sub-views to communicate architecture descriptions (Ch 4) Use of 7 types of views and constituting sub-views to communicate architecture descriptions (Ch 4) Contents of the views and sub-views based on architecture elements developed using a methodological modeling approach (Ch 3) Contents of the views and sub-views based on architecture elements developed using a methodological modeling approach (Ch 3) Installation, use and maintenance of a NATO-wide repository for architecture data: NAR (Ch 5 & 6) Installation, use and maintenance of a NATO-wide repository for architecture data: NAR (Ch 5 & 6) Architecture elements stored in the NAR are defined by the NAF Meta-Model (NMM v1.0) (Ch 5) Architecture elements stored in the NAR are defined by the NAF Meta-Model (NMM v1.0) (Ch 5) Exchange of architecture data (elements and views) based on strictly defined specification and mechanism: ADEM (Ch 5 & 6) Exchange of architecture data (elements and views) based on strictly defined specification and mechanism: ADEM (Ch 5 & 6) The data in the NAR is methodology and tool agnostic The data in the NAR is methodology and tool agnostic Use of the NAR, NMM, ADEM does NOT presuppose or require any specific methodology or tool Use of the NAR, NMM, ADEM does NOT presuppose or require any specific methodology or tool NATO/EAPC UNCLASSIFIED Slide 13NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) v3 NATO/EAPC UNCLASSIFIED NATO CAPABILITY VIEW NATO ALL VIEW NATO OPERATIONAL VIEW NATO PROGRAMME VIEW NATO SYSTEM VIEW NATO TECHNICAL VIEW NATO SERVICE ORIENTED VIEW Slide 14Consistent, Coherent & Comprehensive NAF V3 Target Architectures: Implementation Overarching Architecture: Services Framework Reference Architectures: Solution Patterns Domain Ontology Domain Functions Model Types of Locations Operational Services Model Interaction Model Working Positions Model Logical Process Model Implementation Process Model Organization Chart Asset Allocation Collaborations Model Object Clusters Model Communities Model Communication Flows Model Information Model Types of Locations Data Model Information Systems Service Architecture Information Systems Component Specification Architecture Information Systems Component Implementation Architecture Types of Locations Technical Infrastructure Service Architecture Technical Infrastructure Component Specification Architecture Technical Infrastructure Component Implementation Architecture NATO CAPABILITY VIEW NATO ALL VIEW NATO OPERATIONAL VIEW NATO PROGRAM VIEW NATO SYSTEM VIEW NATO TECHNICAL VIEW NATO SERVICES VIEW NATO Architecture Repository Models: strong rationale, verifiable, repeatable, extendable Views: appropriate to answer the original question Based on NATO Meta-Model NMMv1.
