Purpose
The Framework Viewpoint Definition Viewpoint serves as a specification for any SAF viewpoints in the context of the development of SAF. The Viewpoint shall specify
- an example of a conforming view
- purpose
- applicability
- exposed concepts,
- presentation forms for the conforming views
- related viewpoints
- stereotypes used in the conforming views The viewpoint is intended to be used for development or extension of the SAF.
Applicability
The Viewpoint supports the “Specification of an architecture description framework” as defined in ISO42010:2022
Supported Processes
Supported Information Items
Presentation
A View and Viewpoints Diagram featuring one SCM Viewpoint Element, one SCM_View element, a conform relationship among them. Additionally all SCM_Concept elements that are of interest in the viewpoint. Additionally expose relationships for all concepts that help satisfy the viewpoints concerns. Note, that the consequence of exposing a concept is, that the implementation of the concept must appear in the diagram/table/matrix that implements the viewpoint.
Stakeholder
Concern
- How does a viewpoint of the framework support the processes and best practises of the INCOSE SE Handbook or other system engineering standards?
- What is the definition of a viewpoint of the framework?
- What is the purpose of a viewpoint in the framwork?
- Where is a viewpoint of the framework located in the frameworks grid?
- Which concerns are framed by a viewpoint of the framework?
- Which dependencies to other viewpoints exist for a viewpoint of the framework?
- Which presentations are available for a viewpoint in the framwork?
- Which systems engineering concepts are exposed within a viewpoint of the framework?
Exposed Concepts
The Diagram shows the concepts exposed by the viewpoint, and related concepts if necessary.
The Table shows the concepts exposed by the viewpoint, and related concepts if necessary.
| Concept | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Viewpoint | A architecture viewpoint defines set of conventions for the creation, interpretation and use of an architecture view to frame one or more concerns |
| VPbelongingToAT | specifies that a viewpoint belongs to one aspect. |
| VPbelongingToDN | specifies that a viewpoint belongs to one domain. |
| VPframesCN | Specifies that a Viewpoint frames one or more concerns. That means that the views conform to that viewpoint satisfy the information need expressed by the concerns. |
| SECisProvidedByVP | Specifies, that one or more SE Concepts are provided by the Viewpoints Views |
| SECrelatesToSEC | specifies that a SE concept may be related others. Relations are also concepts and may be subject or object of other relations. |
