UAF is by Object Management Group, the people behind [[SysML]]. It's based on SysML and a few other pre-existing [[Enterprise Architecture Frameworks]]. [[Enterprise Architecture]] doesn’t “require” a framework, but the OMG may disagree. # 72 Views The UAF table is actually a table of _views_. UAF is basically a superset of NATO and DODAFs frameworks. ![[IMG_1133.jpeg]] **Not all 72 views are needed for an EA**. In the video linked below James Martin suggest the ceiling for an expected amount of views represented in an EA is about ~15. # The 8 Building Blocks The Standard [[SysML]] "Block" has been refined into a number of different classes. ![[IMG_1134.jpeg]] # Example Domain In the UAF Guide they detail the different domains from the UAF Grid. This is a meta model of on example domain, the Service Domain. This domain is centered around the **service**, which own a port that is typed by an interface. I suspect the color coding is part of the standard, but haven't read it yet. ![[IMG_1137.jpeg]] **** ## Source - https://www.omg.org/uaf/ - https://www.omg.org/spec/UAF/1.2/UAFML/PDF - the official Spec - https://www.omgwiki.org/uaf/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=dtc-21-12-13.pdf - EA Guide for UAF ## Related - [[SysML]] - [[Archimate]] - [[Diagram Types (index)]]
