Department of Defense Technical Architecture Framework for InformationManagement. Volume 1. Implementation Concept. Version 1.1

摘要

This document provides a broad overview of the technical architecture frameworkprogram in the context of the DoD Information Management (IM) initiatives, such as Information Technology Reuse (ITRUS). It describes the relationships to the ITRUS and Software Reuse Program and how the Technical Architecture Framework is used by developers and integrators to build information systems. The DoD technical infrastructure includes support applications, computing platforms, and communications networks. The current DoD technical infrastructure consists largely of stove-piped, single-purpose, and inflexible systems which are costly to develop and maintain. The evolving DoD enterprise vision for Information Management (IM) emphasizes integration, interoperability, flexibility and efficiency through the development of a common, multi-purpose, standards-based technical infrastructure.
