Line 19:
NAF uses the same meta-model as [[MODAF]]. The meta-model is documented in chapter 5 of the NATO Architecture Framework. Version 3.1 of the NMM is identical to v1.2.003 of the [[MODAF Meta-Model]]
== Using the [[MOD]]'s [[MODAF]] Documentation for NAF Work ==
The documentation of the NAF Rev 3 views (Chapter 4) does not always align well with the NAF Meta Model (Chapter 5). This is particularly the case with some of the examples, which are based on DoDAF version 1.0. Some NAF users find it useful to first of all refer the official [[MODAF]] Documentation - [http://www.mod.uk/modaf]. This is a useful strategy, as the [[MOD]] documentation can be somewhat easier to follow, and NAF and [[MODAF]] share a common meta-model. However, there are some issues to consider:
* The [[MODAF]] documentation covers version 1.2.004 of the meta-model which has some small differences from v3.1 of the NAF Meta-Model (which was a NATO release of v1.2.001 of the MODAF Meta-Model). At the time of writing, plans were in place to update the NAF Meta-Model to correspond with [[MODAF]] v1.2.004. At any time though, there is a chance of NAF being behind MODAF as updates are made.
* The SOA views differ significantly between [[MODAF]] and NAF. In particular, [[MODAF]] handles in service orchestration in the Operational Viewpoint (OV-5) whereas NAF uses NSOV-5
* MODAF does not have a TV-3 view
In most other respects, the [[MODAF]] documentation is fit for use in developing NAF architectures.
