The British Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF) is an Architecture Framework which defines a standardised way of conducting Enterprise Architecture, originally developed by the UK Ministry of Defence. Initially the purpose of MODAF was to provide rigour and structure to support the definition and integration of MOD equipment capability, particularly in support of Network Enabled Capability (NEC). More recently, MOD has additionally been using MODAF to underpin the use of the Enterprise Architecture approach to the capture of the information about the business to identify the processes and resources required to deliver the vision expressed in the strategy. == Overview == MODAF is an internationally recognised enterprise architecture framework developed by the MOD to support Defence planning and change management activities. It does this by enabling the capture and presentation of information in a rigorous, coherent and comprehensive way that aids the understanding of complex issues, thereby providing managers with the key factors they should consider when making decisions about changes to the business. It is used extensively in Defence acquisition to support systems engineering, particularly in support of Network Enabled Capability (NEC], “which is about the coherent integration of sensors, decision-makers, weapon systems and support capabilities to achieve the desired effect.” With the publication of the MOD Information Strategy (MODIS)〔(Error pages )〕 and its Enterprise Architecture (EA) Sub-Strategy, the MOD has recognised the utility of EA to support business improvement. MODAF is central to the use of EA in MOD. MODAF is managed and maintained by staff working for the MOD’s Chief Information Officer〔(House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 13 Jan 2009 (pt 0004) )〕(CIO), as part of their role to provide Information Policy and Standards. Additional support is provided by the MOD’s System Engineering and Integration Group, as part of their role in developing the System of Systems Approach (SOSA),〔()〕 a common set of principles, rules, and standards to enable the delivery of better interoperability between systems. MOD is working closely with its International Allies to ensure coherence with their architecture frameworks to enable the sharing of information about capabilities fielded in coalition operations in-order to support interoperability. MODAF was developed from the US Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) version 1.0, but has been extended and modified to meet MOD requirements by the addition of Strategic, Acquisition and Service Oriented Viewpoints and the provision of the M3. MODAF version 1.0 was released in 2005, following development work by the MODAF Partners, a collaborative team of MOD staff and contractors from a number of industry partners and has been continuously improved since Version 1.0, the latest release, version 1.2.004, was released in May 2010 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MODAF」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
