Operational Views (OV) [Logical Views]

OV-1b Operational Concept Description

Note that this view is not supported by M3 version 1.1

The Operational Concept Description (OV-1b) Product provides a supplementary textural description that explains and details the scenario contained within the associated High Level Operational Concept Graphic (OV-1a) View. The OV-1b Product will always be developed alongside the associated OV-1a View.

Background:

An OV-1b Product is used to explain and add further detail to the graphical presentation of the scenario shown in the associated OV-1a View. As such it will be prepared alongside the OV-1a and used together they will provide a comprehensive summary of the scenario / use case described within the Operational Views of the Architecture. The OV-1b will also be used to provide a description of the operational context for the scenario / use case under consideration within the other Operational Views.

Usage:

Data objects:

OV-1b is a textual description of the OV-1a graphic so does not usually have specific data objects associated with it.

Representation:

Detailed Product Description:

The Operational Concept Description (OV-1b) View provides a supplementary textural description that explains and details the scenario contained within the associated High Level Operational Concept Graphic (OV-1a) View.

The nature and type of description in an OV-1b Product will be very dependant upon the level of detail and maturity in the operational scenario / Architecture being described. An OV-1b View Product may contain textual documents, graphical representations, or other material that is deemed appropriate e.g. video clips.

Regardless of the method of representation it is imperative that the information in the View is consistent with the other OV Views, and when the OV-1b is updated or modified these changes are cascaded throughout the Architecture.
