Responsibility (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Responsibility:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to DoDAF, point to Operational, and then click Responsibility.
• From a Responsibility: right-click the Responsibility, point to New, point to DoDAF, and then click Responsibility.
• From an OV-4 Typical Organizational Relationships Chart, SV-1 Systems Interface Definition, SV-4 Systems Functionality Hierarchy, SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition or SV-9 Systems Technology and Skills Forecast Definition: click the Responsibility toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Appearance
When shown on an OV-4 Typical Organizational Relationships Chart, SV-1 Systems Interface Definition, SV-4 Systems Functionality Hierarchy, SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition or SV-9 Systems Technology and Skills Forecast Definition, a Responsibility appears as follows:
When shown on an SV-1 Systems Interaction Specification or SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description, a Responsibility appears as follows:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Responsibility:
• UML Generalizations define Responsibility inheritance ( SV-1 Systems Interface Definition).
• Forecast relationships link a Responsibility to forecasted future Responsibility elements.
• Implements relationships link a Responsibility to the Performer (Operational) elements it implements.
• Activity Performed by Performer relationships to link a Responsibility to the Activity (System) elements that can be performed by the Responsibility.
• Required Skill and Typical Skill Of Person Role Type relationships link the Responsibility to the Skill elements that are required or provided by that Responsibility.
• Used as a type for System Port and Resource Role elements.
• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.
The following sections provide information about how a Responsibility is used in the model.
Create a Responsibility from
