UAF Standards Views
The UAF 1.2 Standards Viewpoints form a central part of the Unified Architecture Framework, concentrating on the role of standardization within enterprise and system architectures. These viewpoints capture and model the use of technical standards, protocols, specifications, and compliance requirements, illustrating how they are applied and integrated across the architecture. By doing so, they allow stakeholders to identify dependencies, verify conformance across multiple domains, and maintain consistency in the implementation and governance of standards. This structured perspective supports the effective management of standards as essential drivers of architectural design, execution, and long-term evolution in complex systems and system-of-systems environments.

UAF Standards Views
Standards Taxonomy Sd-Tx |
Stakeholders: Solution Providers, Systems Engineers, Software Engineers, Systems Architects, Business Architects. Concerns: Technical and non-technical standards, guidance, and policy applicable to the architecture. Definition: Shows the taxonomy of types of technical, operational, and business standards, guidance, and policy applicable to the architecture. |
Standards Structure Sd-Sr |
Stakeholders: Solution Providers, Systems Engineers, Software Engineers, Systems Architects. Concerns: The specification of the protocol stack used in the architecture. Definition: Shows the composition of standards required to achieve the architecture's objectives. |
Standards Roadmap Sd-Rm |
Stakeholders: Solution Providers, Systems Engineers, Systems Architects, Software Engineers, Business Architects. Concerns: Expected changes in technology-related standards and conventions, operational standards, or business standards and conventions. Definition: Defines the underlying current and expected standards. Expected standards are those that can be reasonably forecast given the current state of technology and expected improvements / trends. |
Standards Traceability Sd-Tr |
Stakeholders: Solution Providers, Systems Engineers, Software Engineers, Systems Architects, Business Architects. Concerns: Standards that need to be taken in account to ensure the interoperability of the implementation of architectural elements. Definition: Shows the applicability of standards to specific elements in the architecture. |
