What is implemented for this release:

  • Migration from UAF 1.1 to UAF 1.2
  • UAF Grid and Metamodel Improvements:
    • Architecture Management Domain
    • Improvements in Strategic and Services Domains (clarify semantics, add new concepts, improve exposition)

The development will continue for the upcoming releases and will focus on the fully UAF 1.2 support for DoDAF, DoDAF 2.0 MODAF, NAF, and NAF 4.0 frameworks and migration from UPDM to UAF 1.2.

ArchiMate Model Import (Technology Preview)

In this version, we continued working on the import of the ArchiMate model from the open exchange file into the UAF project. The imported element mapping is still only partial, but more mapping options were implemented. The mapping of ArchiMate 3.1 to UAF 1.1 approach is based on the NATO Architecture Framework. Learn more >>>
