6. Navigating from CADM to DM2
Assumptions
DoDAF 1.5 Objects and Associations have a place within DM2
DM2 is the “point of departure” for DoDAF 2.0 Compliance
For conformance, Tools must:
fully implement DM2 structure OR
provide a credible data mapping taxonomy
Changes in Data Concepts will have minor impacts to existing graphical products
Tools will provide data export and import functionality
Constraints
Framework and Data Concept Changes
Tools
DoDAF Maturity
Conversion Capability
Cross-Tool Interoperability

9. DoDAF 2.0 – Migration Lessons
Execute Migration with an EA Approach (As-Is, To-Be, Transition)
Full Spectrum (Framework) Migration – More Than….tools, DM2
Map the Data Concepts (diagram by diagram)
Choose a Tool that Implements DM2 – get the Metadata Right!
Diagrams & Language Standards are secondary
Conversions are VITAL! More important than Green Fields for learning
Trains the mind on the Data Mapping
Provides a means of Validation (comparison with the Source 1.x architecture)
Enables Reuse
Tooling Support is Key:
DM2 compliance, Data Mapping, Diagram Support
Migration to DoDAF 2.0 Hinges on DM2
