Description

The A1 Meta-Data Definitions view specifies the categories of meta-data tag used throughout the architecture.

Architectures, particularly large ones, usually require meta-data tags to aid with searching and discovery. NAF specifies some built-in meta-data tags, such as:

  • Definition.
  • Assumption.
  • Finding.
  • Recommendation.
  • Purpose.
  • Approver, Approval Milestone, Modeller, Manager, Responsible Owner, Tool Used.
