| Common | Traceability & Mapping |  proposed |
Example
Purpose
The EA Traceability Viewpoint provides a mapping between SAF System Model elements and model elements of an upper Enterprise Architecture (EA) Model. The mapping is accomplished by three kinds of relations
- a representation relation which states that an element of the SAF System Model and the related model element in the EA model represents the same entity.
- a derivation relation, stating that an element of the SAF System Model is derived from an EA model element.
- an informed relation, stating that an element of the SAF System Model is related to the respective EA Element.
Applicability
The viewpoint supports the
- “Configuration Management Process” activities of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2023 [§2.3.4.5]
- “Business or Mission Analysis Process” activities of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2023 [§2.3.5.1]
- “System Requirements Definition Process” activities of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2023 [§2.3.5.3]
- “Architecture Definition Process” activities of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2023 [§2.3.5.4]
- “Validation Process” activities of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2023 [§2.3.5.11]
by providing the reasoning and tracing.
Presentation
One or more mapping matrices representing EA model elements and SAF model elements and their represents, derive and inform relations.
One or more tables containing EA model elements, SAF model elements and the represents, derivation and informs relations.
One or more BDD containing EA model elements, SAF model elements and the represents, derivation and informs relations.
Stakeholder
Concern
- Which element of a system model is derived from an element of the enterprise architecture model?
- Which element of a system model is influenced by an element of the enterprise architecture model?
- Which element of a system model represents the same entity as an other element of the enterprise architecture model?
