Description

The Strategic Taxonomy (St-Tx) describes the relationships between individual capabilities including composition, association, and generalization.

The Strategic Taxonomy (St-Tx) view specifies all the capabilities that are referenced throughout one or more architectures. In addition, it can be used as a source document for the development of high-level use cases and user requirements.

The intended usage of the Strategic Taxonomy (St-Tx) view includes:

  • Identification of capability requirements.
  • Capability planning (capability taxonomy).
  • Codifying required capability elements.
  • Capability audit.
  • Capability gap analysis.
  • Source for the derivation of cohesive sets of user requirements.
  • Providing reference capabilities for architectures.
