DoDAF 2.0 - A Popular EA Framework
DoDAF 2.0 was released in May, 2009 and was prescribed framework for US Department of Defense. It works as the comprehensive framework and conceptual model enabling the Architecture Department facilitating the ability to DoD managers at all levels to make key decisions more efficiently and effectively. It was hoped to provide organized information sharing across departments, Joint Capabilities Areas or JCAs, Mission, Component, and Program boundaries. DoD Managers are the process owners, specify the requirements and control the development of architectures within respective areas. DoDAF emphasizes on architectural data rather than developing individual products. The visualization of architectural data is being accomplished by models which can be documents, spreadsheets, dashboards etc. When data is being collected and presented, the presentation is being called Views and organized collections of these views are referred to as ViewPoints in DoDAF 2.0.
