DoDAF
DoDAF (Department of Defense Architecture Framework, formerly known as C4ISR) defines a common approach for describing Department of Defense (DoD) enterprise architectures allowing architecture descriptions to be compared and related across organizational boundaries, including joint and multinational boundaries. Telelogic has defined how to effectively realize DoDAF compliant architectures using the standard UML 2.0 diagrams. By leveraging composite structure diagrams, ports and interfaces available in UML 2.0 engineers tasked with meeting DoDAF can now effectively apply UML 2.0 to enable architects and systems engineers to work together in an environment that is easy to share artifacts while working in the same tool. With Rhapsody engineers also get the additional benefits of a complete model-driven development environment and can automatically produce customizable documents and simulate the architecture to increase it's efficiency. Telelogic is committed to not only be the best UML 2.0 based DoDAF solution but to be the most powerful DoDAF solution available and will be adding support for CADM to enable easy exchange of information with other DoDAF compliant tools and by enabling users to either capture their architectures using UML 2.0 naming conventions or using the actual DoDAF naming conventions. |

Whitepaper: DoDAF Architectures in UML and Rhapsody
The DoDAF standard defines a number of work products, some of which are identified as required for a system to be compliant, others are identified as supporting and are recommended but not required. The 1997 C4ISR standard came out at about the same time as the UML standard and therefore doesn’t take advantage of the rich semantics and clear notation provided by the UML.
