Tabular: Views which are essentially tabular, which includes structured text as a special case
Structural: This category comprises diagrams describing the structural aspects of an Architecture
Behavioural: This category comprises diagrams describing the behavioural aspects of an Architecture
Mapping: These views provide matrix (or similar) mappings between two different types of information
Ontology: Views which extend the MODAF ontology for a particular Architecture
Pictorial: This category comprises just one view, namely OV-1a, which is essentially a free-form picture
Timeline: This category comprises diagrams describing the programmatic aspects of an Architecture
