In the past couple of weeks the announcement went out that the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Board (NATO C3B) recently adopted both the OMG Unified Architecture Framework™ (OMG UAF®) and The Open Group Archimate (TOG Archimate) as approved metamodels for the NATO Architecture Framework, Version 4. The UAF standard is aimed at improving strategic gaps in communications and interoperability of complex systems of systems among coalition partners.
As long-time contributors to both OMG and The Open Group, the folks at Sparx Services North America are excited to see the recent development in the NATO standard and look forward to the role we can play in helping advance the vision of international collaboration to fruition – driven by architecture.
