View Representing Responsibility Extent and Roles
Overview
The idea is that you know what you want to be able to do but aren’t sure how this might be done. The list below takes common ideas or situations and suggests how these might be represented. For the moment this is based on TRAK but others might like to suggest ways in which MODAF, DODAF or NAF might be used.
Ownership and Responsibility
A sponsor of something or sponsorship
for the modelling task itself use Organisation / Job sponsors Architecture Task
Supplier responsibility (general) e.g. scope of supply
Organisation plays Role Supplier extends to ... each of the set of things which are Resource in TRAK
Manufacturer of .... thing
use attributes - System, Software, Physical have a ‘manufacturer’ attribute. The advantage is that this doesn’t require a view. This is also the disadvantage - it’s not explicit on a view.
use relationships - Organisation plays Role Manufacturer extends to ... each of the set of System, Software, Physical things. The advantage is that this is explicit and the Role is easily re-used.
Design Authority, System Design Authority of .... thing
use attributes - System, Software, Physical have a ‘design authority’ attribute. In addition System has the ‘system design authority’ attribute.
use relationships - create Design Authority or System Design Authority as a Role and use the construct plays Role extends to ... thing construct as for manufacturer of ... thing
Independent Safety Auditor of .... thing
- use attributes - Resource (System, Physical, Software, Human Resource) and Function have a ‘independent safety auditor’ attribute (inherited from Safety Monitored Resource).
Integration Authority of .... things
use attributes - TRAK:Resource Interaction connecting 2 Resources has an ‘integration authority’ attribute.
use relationships - create Integration Authority as a Role and use the construct plays Role extends to ... thing construct as for manufacturer of ... thing.
