Description
The Operational Information (Op-If) view addresses the information perspective on operational architecture. It allows analysis of an architecture’s information and data definition aspect, without consideration of implementation specific issues.
The Conceptual Data Model diagram defines the high-level information elements used in the operational scenarios.
It is used for documenting the business information requirements and structural business process rules of the architecture. It describes the information that is associated with the information of the architecture. Included are information items, their attributes or characteristics, and their inter-relationships.
