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:

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

The organizations that are modeled using an OV-4 in the Operational Viewpoint may also appear in other views, for example, SV-1 (organizational constituents of a capability configuration), AcV-1 (actual organizations that own projects), and SV-5 (organizational resources performs functions).
