OV-2 Operational resource definition (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an OV-2 Operational Resource Definition:
• Right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description that is to own the OV-2 Operational Resource Definition, point to New, point to Diagram, point to DoDAF, and then click OV-2 Operational Resource Definition.
Purpose
On an OV-2 Operational Resource Definition:
• Create Energy, Operational Context, Performer (Operational) and Security Domain elements and create Generalizations to define inheritance between them.
• Create Operational Exchange links.
• Create Rule (Operational) elements and apply them to Performer (Operational) and Security Domain elements.
• Create Service Policy elements and apply them to Operational Context, Performer (Operational) and Security Domain elements.
