Description
Information exchanges express the relationship across the three basic architecture data elements of an OV (operational activities, operational nodes, and information flow) with a focus on the specific aspects of the information flow and the information content.
The Information Exchanges of the OV-3 should remain at a high level of aggregation to represent actual information workflow products that are used at the operational nodes shown in the OV-2 (and not their subordinate operational nodes).
Implementation
OV-3 can be represented using:
- OV-3 table.
OV-3 role-based table.
A role-based table represents exchanges between Node Roles (node usages).
- OV-3 spreadsheet report.
