RM-ODP
RM-ODP stands for Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing . This is since 1996 in the ISO - standard describes the ISO / IEC 10746 which is a meta model for describing information systems has as its object. RM-ODP defines the concepts that must be described by ODP Specification Languages .
Overview
RM-ODP is tailored to object-based systems, but can also be used for other types of systems. It became necessary because the Zachman Framework cannot easily be used for object-based architectures.
There are five generic views of the system.
- The corporate perspective describes the business model from the perspective of management and end users.
- The information view deals with the information, its structure, meaning and processing.
- Only the system view deals with the interfaces of the distributed blocks ( components ).
- The construction view takes care of the distributed collaborations and provision.
- Ultimately, the technology view defines the concrete implementation of the architecture.
Applications
Since RM-ODP is kept very generic, it can be instantiated to the 4 + 1 view model and Object Management Architecture .
standardization
The ISO / IEC 10746 Information Technology - Distributed Processing in Open Systems - Reference Model is divided into the following four parts:
- Overview
- Basics
- architecture
- Architecture semantics
