Infrastructure Viewpoint
Infrastructure Viewpoint
The Infrastructure viewpoint contains the software and hardware infrastructure elements supporting the application layer, such as physical devices, networks, or system software (e.g., operating systems, databases, and middleware).
This viewpoint is ideal to describe the infrastructure and its relationships to locations.
The object types for this viewpoint are:
Artifact, Infrastructure service, Infrastructure interface, Infrastructure function, Node, Communication path, Location, System software, Device, and Network
Infrastructure Usage Viewpoint
Infrastructure Usage Viewpoint
The Infrastructure Usage viewpoint shows how applications are supported by the software and hardware infrastructure: the devices deliver the infrastructure services; system software and networks are provided to the applications.
This viewpoint is important in analysing quality, performance and scalability, as it relates the physical infrastructure to the applications.
The object types for this viewpoint are:
Application function, Application component, Infrastructure service, Infrastructure interface, Infrastructure function, Node, Communication path, System software, Device and Network.
Implementation and Deployment Viewpoint
Implementation and Deployment Viewpoint
The Implementation and Deployment viewpoint shows how one or more applications are realized on the infrastructure.
This viewpoint is important when examining dependencies between physical infrastructure and applications.
The object types for this viewpoint are:
Application collaboration, Data object, Application component, Artifact, Infrastructure service, Node, Communication path, System software, Device, and Network.
Information Structure Viewpoint
Information Structure Viewpoint
The Information Structure viewpoint is comparable to the traditional information models created in the development of almost any information system.
This viewpoint shows the structure of information and their relationships. It also maps business level data, to application level data, and how these map to the underlying infrastructure.
The object types for this viewpoint are:
Meaning, Representation, Business object, Data object and Artifact.
