Description
The Implementation Matrix describes the mapping between the Resources / Operational / Summary & Overview Elements and Operational / Services / Strategic / Resources Elements directly or using the implied relations. The implementation in UAF is defined by the Implements relationship. To specify the implementation and analyze implementation gaps, the Implementation Matrix is added as a supportive product for UAF.
Implementation
An Implementation Matrix is represented by a Dependency Matrix-based diagram.
The Rows of the matrix are:
- Resources Elements: Resource Performer, Function, Resource Interfaces, Resource Information, Resource Role, Resource Service, Resource Connector, and Resource Exchange.
- Operational Elements: Operational Activity and Operational Information.
- Service Elements: Service Interface.
- Summary & Overview Elements: Architecture.
The Columns of this matrix are:
- Operational Elements: Operational Agent, Operational Activity, Operational Interface, Operational Information, Operational Role, Operational Connector, and Operational Exchange.
- Services Elements: Service, Service Function, and Service Interface.
- Strategic Elements: Actual Strategic Phase and Strategic Information.
- Resource Elements: Resource Connector.
Sample
Predefined configurations
The predefined matrices are only available in DoDAF and DoDAF 2.0 perspectives.
Working in DoDAF or DoDAF 2.0 perspectives, you can find predefined matrices by clicking Analyze > OV-SV Gap analysis.
There are several types of predefined implementation matrices:
- Operational Performers Implementation Matrix. It maps Operational Performers to System Resources only.
- Operational Activities Implementation Matrix. It maps Operational Activities to Functions.
- Operational Exchanges Implementation Matrix. It maps Operational Exchanges to Resource Exchanges.
These matrices provide an analysis of the whole model of a particular implementation, so you do not have to define the scope or any additional properties for building them.
