Description

The Organizational Relationships Chart illustrates the command structure or relationships (as opposed to relationships with respect to a business process flow) among human roles, organizations, or organization types that are the key players in architecture. MODAF divides The OV-4 in two views: an OV-4 Typical and an OV-4 Actual. The former is exactly as the DoDAF OV-4, while the latter is a special form of the SV-1; where the resources are restricted to being organizational.

Implementation

OV-4 can be represented using:

  • OV-4 diagram which is based on the UML Class diagram.
  • UML Class diagram.
  • SysML Block Definition diagram.
