UPDM2 — "Include DoDAF 2.02 Conformance Level Three (L3) Statement"

"Section 3.3 Department of Defense" (Normative References) and/or "Section 2 Compliance".

A paragraph needs to be added related to "DoDAF 2.02 Conformance Level Three (DoDAF L3)."

UPDM 2.0 conforms with Level Three (3) as specified by DoDAF 2.02.
The DoDAF Levels of conformance are:

DoDAF Level 1 is conceptual conformance.
DoDAF Level 2 is logical data model conformance.
DoDAF Level 3 is physical data model conformance.
DoDAF Level 4 is syntactic/ontology conformance with a full spatial-temporal (4-dimensional) ontology.

Note: DoDAF Levels are not to be confused with UPDM Levels.

Note: DoDAF Levels are cumulative, that is, Level 3 physical data model conformance builds upon Level 2, logical data model conformance.
One cannot achieve DoDAF Level 3 without achieving DoDAF Levels 1 and 2.

As evidence of conformance at the logical data model level (DoDAF Level 2), we refer the reader internally to Annex C.1, "DoDAF-DM2, UPDM, and MODAF Mapping". For DoDAF Level 3, we cite the proven exchanges among UPDM 2.0 implementations at the physical layer using the OMG XML Model Interchange (XMI) specification. Tools that conform with UPDM Level 0 or UPDM Level 1 must be able to make this XMI interchange. See internal section 2.1.1 and 2.1.2

The text in section 7.7.2 relating to DODAF 2.0.2 conformance is not in an appropriate place in the document so it should be moved to the section 3.3 relating to DoDAF compliance

7.7.2 DoDAF 2.02 Conformance
Compliance with UPDM 2.1 Profile including metadata should assist the tool vendor in adhering to DoDAF 2.02 because the UPDM 2.1 Core and DoDAF-specific metadata models in UPDM 2.1 adhere to the metadata model inherent in DoDAF 2.02 Conceptual and Logical data models. In developing the UPDM 2.1, domain meta-modelers have also consulted the corresponding Physical data model in DoDAF 2.02 and to resolve questions of general conformance with enterprise-level architectural elements. Nevertheless, tool vendors are advised to consult DoDAF Version 2.02 (especially Volume I, page 2-6; Volume II, page 2-6; and Volume III, page 1-2) before claiming DoDAF 2.02 conformance. While conformance with UPDM 2.1 Core and DoDAF-specifics should greatly facilitate conformance with DoDAF 2.02, each tool vendor is still responsible for the tool's ultimate conformance with the documented architecture framework.

The DoD-CIO has clarified in a Decision Brief of 12 Jan 11 that it does not expect UPDM 2.1 to export models in PES, nor to provide an implementation of 4D (geo-spatial-temporal modeling) including a global implementation of Whole-Part and Temporal-Whole-Part for all UPDM elements (classes/objects).
The UPDM Profile to DoDAF Metamodel Compliance Matrix has been published as non-normative Annex C of the specification to aid tool vendors in their claims to DoDAF Level 2 Conformance. This matrix should also facilitate upgrades to Level 3 and 4 of DoDAF Conformance in future versions of UPDM.

Append the following addition to section 3.3 after the additions above.

DoDAF 2.02 Conformance Level Three (DoDAF L3).

UPDM 2.0 conforms with Level Three (3) as specified by DoDAF 2.02.
The DoDAF Levels of conformance are:

DoDAF Level 1 is conceptual conformance.
DoDAF Level 2 is logical data model conformance.
DoDAF Level 3 is physical data model conformance.
DoDAF Level 4 is syntactic/ontology conformance with a full spatial-temporal (4-dimensional) ontology.

Note: DoDAF Levels are not to be confused with UPDM Levels.

Note: DoDAF Levels are cumulative, that is, Level 3 physical data model conformance builds upon Level 2, logical data model conformance.
One cannot achieve DoDAF Level 3 without achieving DoDAF Levels 1 and 2.

As evidence of conformance at the logical data model level (DoDAF Level 2), we refer the reader internally to Annex C.1, ""DoDAF-DM2, UPDM, and MODAF Mapping"". For DoDAF Level 3, we cite the proven exchanges among UPDM 2.0 implementations at the physical layer using the OMG XML Model Interchange (XMI) specification. Tools that conform with UPDM Level 0 or UPDM Level 1 must be able to make this XMI interchange.
