href="/wiki/Systems_engineering" title="Systems engineering">systems engineering</a>, <a href="/wiki/Software_engineering" title="Software engineering">software engineering</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Enterprise_engineering" title="Enterprise engineering">enterprise engineering</a> is a framework which defines a coherent set of <i>views</i> to be used in the construction of a <a href="/wiki/System_architecture" class="mw-redirect" title="System architecture">system architecture</a>, <a href="/wiki/Software_architecture" title="Software architecture">software architecture</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Enterprise_architecture" title="Enterprise architecture">enterprise architecture</a>. A <i>view</i> is a representation of the whole system from the perspective of a related set of concerns.<sup id="cite_ref-ISO42010_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ISO42010-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Since the early 1990s there have been a number of efforts to prescribe approaches for describing and analyzing system architectures. A result of these efforts have been to define a set of views (or viewpoints). They are sometimes referred to as <a href="/wiki/Architecture_framework" title="Architecture framework">architecture frameworks</a> or <a href="/wiki/Enterprise_architecture_framework" title="Enterprise architecture framework">enterprise architecture frameworks</a>, but are usually called "view models". </p><p>Usually a <i>view</i> is a work product that presents specific architecture data for a given system. However, the same term is sometimes used to refer to a view <i>definition</i>, including the particular viewpoint and the corresponding guidance that defines each concrete view. The term <i>view model</i> is related to view definitions. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=View_model&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Overview"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The purpose of views and viewpoints is to enable humans to comprehend very <a href="/wiki/Complex_system" title="Complex system">complex systems</a>, to organize the elements of the problem and the solution around domains of <a href="/wiki/Expertise" class="mw-redirect" title="Expertise">expertise</a> and to <a href="/wiki/Separation_of_concerns" title="Separation of concerns">separate concerns</a>. In the <a href="/wiki/Engineering" title="Engineering">engineering</a> of physically intensive systems, viewpoints often correspond to <a href="/wiki/Capability_(systems_engineering)" title="Capability (systems engineering)">capabilities</a> and responsibilities within the engineering organization.<sup id="cite_ref-NIST2003_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NIST2003-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Most complex system specifications are so extensive that no single individual can fully comprehend all aspects of the specifications. Furthermore, we all have different interests in a given system and different reasons for examining the <a href="/wiki/System" title="System">system</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Specification" class="mw-redirect" title="Specification">specifications</a>. A <a href="/wiki/Business" title="Business">business</a> executive will ask different questions of a system make-up than would a system implementer. The concept of viewpoints framework, therefore, is to provide separate viewpoints into the specification of a given complex system in order to facilitate communication with the stakeholders. Each viewpoint satisfies an audience with interest in a particular set of aspects of the system. Each viewpoint may use a specific <i>viewpoint language</i> that optimizes the vocabulary and presentation for the audience of that viewpoint. Viewpoint modeling has become an effective approach for dealing with the inherent complexity of large distributed systems. </p><p>Architecture description practices, as described in <a href="/wiki/IEEE_1471" title="IEEE 1471">IEEE Std 1471-2000</a>, utilize multiple views to address several areas of concerns, each one focusing on a specific aspect of the system. Examples of <a href="/wiki/Architecture_framework" title="Architecture framework">architecture frameworks</a> using multiple views include Kruchten's <a href="/wiki/4%2B1" class="mw-redirect" title="4+1">"4+1" view model</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Zachman_Framework" title="Zachman Framework">Zachman Framework</a>, <a href="/wiki/TOGAF" class="mw-redirect" title="TOGAF">TOGAF</a>, <a href="/wiki/DoDAF" class="mw-redirect" title="DoDAF">DoDAF</a>, and <a href="/wiki/RM-ODP" title="RM-ODP">RM-ODP</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=View_model&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 1970s, methods began to appear in software engineering for modeling with multiple views. <a href="/wiki/Douglas_T._Ross" title="Douglas T.

In 1992, <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Finkelstein" title="Anthony Finkelstein">Anthony Finkelstein</a> and others published a very important paper on viewpoints.<sup id="cite_ref-Finkelstein+1992_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Finkelstein+1992-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In that work: "A viewpoint can be thought of as a combination of the idea of an “actor”, “knowledge source”, “role” or “agent” in the development process and the idea of a “view” or “perspective” which an actor maintains." An important idea in this paper was to distinguish "a <i>representation style</i>, the scheme and notation by which the viewpoint expresses what it can see" and "a <i>specification</i>, the statements expressed in the viewpoint's style describing particular domains". Subsequent work, such as <a href="/wiki/IEEE_1471" title="IEEE 1471">IEEE 1471</a>, preserved this distinction by utilizing two separate terms: viewpoint and view, respectively. </p><p>Since the early 1990s there have been a number of efforts to codify approaches for describing and analyzing system architectures.

Among these, the IEEE Recommended Practice for Architectural Description of Software-Intensive Systems (<a href="/wiki/IEEE_1471" title="IEEE 1471">IEEE Std 1471-2000</a>) established useful definitions of view, viewpoint, stakeholder and concern and guidelines for documenting a <a href="/wiki/System_architecture" class="mw-redirect" title="System architecture">system architecture</a> through the use of multiple views by applying viewpoints to address <a href="/wiki/Stakeholder_analysis" title="Stakeholder analysis">stakeholder concerns</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ShSk_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ShSk-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The advantage of multiple views is that hidden requirements and stakeholder disagreements can be discovered more readily.

In all of these scenarios the overall process is the same: identify <a href="/wiki/Project_stakeholder" title="Project stakeholder">stakeholders</a>, elicit concerns, identify a set of viewpoints to be used, and then apply these viewpoint specifications to develop the set of views relevant to the system of interest.

EA is driven by strategy; it helps an agency identify whether its resources are properly aligned to the agency mission and strategic goals and objectives. From an investment perspective, EA is used to drive decisions about the IT investment portfolio as a whole. Consequently, the primary stakeholders of the EA are the senior managers and executives tasked with ensuring the agency fulfills its mission as effectively and efficiently as possible.<sup id="cite_ref-FEAPMO06_23-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FEAPMO06-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By contrast, segment architecture defines a simple roadmap for a core mission area, business service, or enterprise service. Segment architecture is driven by business management and delivers products that improve the delivery of services to citizens and agency staff. From an investment perspective, segment architecture drives decisions for a business case or group of business cases supporting a core mission area or common or shared service. The primary stakeholders for segment architecture are business owners and managers. Segment architecture is related to EA through three principles: structure, reuse, and alignment. First, segment architecture inherits the framework used by the EA, although it may be extended and specialized to meet the specific needs of a core mission area or common or shared service. Second, segment architecture reuses important assets defined at the enterprise level including: data; common business processes and investments; and applications and technologies. Third, segment architecture aligns with elements defined at the enterprise level, such as business strategies, mandates, standards, and performance measures.<sup id="cite_ref-FEAPMO06_23-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FEAPMO06-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Nominal_set_of_views">Nominal set of views</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=View_model&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Nominal set of views"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In search of "Framework for Modeling Space Systems Architectures" Peter Shames and Joseph Skipper (2006) defined a "nominal set of views",<sup id="cite_ref-ShSk_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ShSk-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Derived from CCSDS RASDS, RM-ODP, ISO 10746 and compliant with <a href="/wiki/IEEE_1471" title="IEEE 1471">IEEE 1471</a>. </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Nominal_set_of_views.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Nominal_set_of_views.jpg/360px-Nominal_set_of_views.jpg" decoding="async" width="360" height="200" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Nominal_set_of_views.jpg/540px-Nominal_set_of_views.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Nominal_set_of_views.jpg/720px-Nominal_set_of_views.jpg 2x" data-file-width="919" data-file-height="510" /></a><figcaption>Illustration of the "Nominal set of views".<sup id="cite_ref-ShSk06_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ShSk06-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></figcaption></figure> <p>This "set of views", as described below, is a listing of possible modeling viewpoints.
