UAF ViewPoints
In the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), viewpoints function as structured groupings that address distinct stakeholder concerns across multiple domains of enterprise architecture. Organized in a two-dimensional grid, the rows reflect stakeholder-related concerns while the columns represent architectural domains, creating a systematic way to align perspectives with areas of interest.

This structure allows stakeholders to examine specific aspects of the enterprise without losing sight of the overall context, ensuring that complex system architectures can be modeled and interpreted from multiple perspectives. UAF arranges these viewpoints across major domains—including Metadata, Strategic, Operational, and Personnel—providing architects with a standardized method to capture and represent an organization’s structures, processes, and capabilities in a coherent and consistent manner.
