NSV-1 Resource specification (UPDM - NAF aliases)
Creation
To create an NSV-1 Resource Specification:
• Right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description that is to own the NSV-1 Resource Specification, point to New, point to Diagram, point to NAF, and then click NSV-1 Resource Specification.
Purpose
On an NSV-1 Resource Specification:
• Create Capability, Capability Configuration, Energy, Materiel, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Responsibility, Service Access and Software elements.
• Create Generalizations to define inheritance between the preceding elements.
• Create Property, Request, Resource Role, Service and Resource Operation elements on the preceding elements.
• Create Exhibits relationships.
• Create Resource Constraint and Service Policy elements and apply them to valid elements on the diagram.
