The IDEAS Group is the International Defence Enterprise Architecture Specification for exchange Group. The purpose of the project is to develop a data exchange format for military Enterprise Architectures. The scope is four nation (plus NATO as observers) and covers MODAF (UK), DoDAF (USA), DNDAF (Canada) and the Australian Defence Architecture Framework. The initial scope for exchange is the architectural data required to support coalition operations planning –

  • Systems – communications systems, networks, software applications, etc.
  • Communications links between systems
  • Information specifications – the types of information (and their security classifications) that the comms architecture will handle
  • Platforms & facilities.
  • System & operational functions (activities)
  • People & organizations
  • Architecture meta-data – who owns it, who was the architect, name, version, description, etc.

The work has begun with the development of an information model (in UML) to specify the data exchange semantics. It is likely that XML will be the format used for data exchange. The structure of this XML will be specified by an XML (or OWL) schema derived directly from the information model. The IDEAS Group website is http://www.ideasgroup.org
