In February 2004 the documentation of Version 1.0 was released with volume "I: Definitions and Guidelines", "II: Product Descriptions" and a "Deskbook". In April 2007 the Version 1.5 was released with a documentation of "Definitions and Guidelines", "Product Descriptions" and "Architecture Data Description".<ref>DoDAF 1.5 is presented in three volumes and a deskbook:

* [http://wwwdodcio.defenselinkdefense.milgov/cio-niiPortals/docs0/Documents/DODAF/DoDAF_Volume_I.pdf DoDAF 1.5 Volume 1] - Provides definitions, guidelines, background material.

* [http://wwwdodcio.defenselinkdefense.milgov/cio-niiPortals/docs0/Documents/DODAF/DoDAF_Volume_II.pdf DoDAF 1.5 Volume 2] - Describes each architecture product.

* [http://wwwdodcio.defenselinkdefense.milgov/cio-niiPortals/docs0/Documents/DODAF/DoDAF_Volume_III.pdf DoDAF 1.5 Volume 3] - Provides the architecture data description.

* [https://acc.dau.mil/CommunityBrowser.aspx?id=31667&lang=en-US DoDAF 1.0 Deskbook] - Provides supplementary "how to" information relating to architectures. The DODAF architecture documents were updated on April 23, 2007 to version 1.5. Currently the Deskbook, which is from February 9, 2004, has not been updated. This link is only to the Final Draft version August 30, 2003 - not the Feb 9, '04 version</ref>

On May 28, 2009 DoDAF v2.0 was approved by the Department of Defense.<ref>http://cio-niijitc.defensefhu.govdisa.mil/jitc_dri/docspdfs/DoDAF%20V2%20-%20Promulgation%20Memododafv2_28may09.pdf</ref>

DoDAF V2.0 is published on a public website.<ref>http://cio-niidodcio.defense.gov/sites/dodaf20/.aspx</ref>

Other derivative frameworks based on DoDAF include the [[NATO Architecture Framework]] (NAF) and [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)]] Architecture Framework ([[MODAF]]). Like other EA approaches, for example The Open Group Architecture Framework ([[TOGAF]]), DoDAF is organized around a shared repository to hold work products. The repository is defined by the [[Core Architecture Data Model]] 2.0 ([[CADM]] -- essentially a common database schema) and the DoD Architecture Registry System ([[DoD Architecture Registry System|DARS]]). A key feature of DoDAF is interoperability, which is organized as a series of levels, called Levels of Information System Interoperability (LISI). The developing system must not only meet its internal data needs but also those of the operational framework into which it is set.
