OV-2 diagram name in DoDAF differs from the one in MODAF, though the diagram concept in both architecture frameworks is the same. OV-2 is one of the starting views of the architecture for DoDAF and requires the Strategic Viewpoint to be developed for MODAF.

To create an OV-2 Internal diagram


  1. Create Logical Architectures (MODAF) or Performers (DoDAF).
  2. Model internal structures of created context elements using Node Roles typed by Nodes (MODAF) or Performers (DoDAF).
  3. Associate Node Roles using Needlines.
  4. Create Operational Exchanges flowing via Needlines.
