Briefing Agenda

Information of EA federation and

Federated Joint Architecture Working

Group (FJAWG) activities

Way Ahead

Questions

Intro to The FJAWG The FJAWG is working group of mostly DoD

Component Architects that assist the DoD in

constructing the DoD EA in a federated

manner to achieve the DOD EA objective.

– This includes review and input on EA

governance documents such as the DoDD

8210 (Draft) “Architecting the DoD”

The DNI and PM ISE are participating

Meet approximately quarterly

Enterprise Architecture Objective

Make Architecture Data: Discoverable Accessible Understandable

Background (Late 2005 – 2008)

Enterprise Architecture (EA) was addressed by the

Enterprise Architecture Summit (EAS)

The EAS Created the Federated Joint Architecture

Working Group (FJAWG)

– Component, COCOM, Services representation

– Developed a Statement of Objectives

– Developed a Federation Approach

– Developed & Published Approved

Architecture Federation Strategy

Recommended Pilots to Demonstrate Technical

Feasibility and Value

Initial Federation Process

Architecture Description Federation Is A Two Step Process:– Registration of approved architecture

description metadata– Alignment

Determining relationship between architecture descriptions by examining their activities (enhances search capability)

– Equivalent To– Similar To– Part Of– Not related

Develop DoD Directive and Instruction as well as automated registration templates

Technical Feasibility of Federation Pilots

Develop and Test Registration Services– Based on Net-Centric Core Enterprise Services

(NCES)– Determine what information about architecture

descriptions to register: DoD Metadata Specification Metadata extensions from the Architecture

Description’s All View Product (AV-1)

– Register Sample Set of Architecture Descriptions

Connect things together– Architectures descriptions to registries– Registries to registries

Current FJAWG Activities

Review and comment on the DODD 8210 (Architecting the DoD)

and the supporting DoDI 8210

Federation is a totally integrated EA&S program involving FJAWG members

Brian WIlczynski, Director (Heads EA Summit) – DoDAF– Discovery: AV 1 Registration/DARs– DoD/ IC Standards– EA Training and Professional Development– DOD IEA– DoD ISE– Joint DoD/DNI EA effort (including Training and Professional

Development)– Participation with allies on EA– Represent DoD EA on all Federal EA matters

Way Ahead

Continue cooperative efforts with Industry,

DNI, PM ISE, USDI, etc…

– Information Sharing Implications

Immense

Share EA data, and eventually

content, government wide

Use of EA as an information asset

Industry participation in the FJAWG is

welcome
