Focus: Military systems architecture and interoperability
Key concepts: Capability, Performer, Activity, Resource Flow, Standards
Adjacency: Orthogramic’s Capabilities, Stakeholders, Initiatives, and Value Streams map well conceptually
Comparison: DoDAF is highly formal, based on mission assurance and traceability; Orthogramic is lighter, more flexible
Used by: Defence agencies, system-of-systems architects, NATO/coalition partners

Alignment with external schemas
For technical details on how Orthogramic maps and aligns data structures with external schemas, including BIAN, SAP, and other frameworks, see Integration schema alignment . This page outlines alignment principles, schema translation approaches, and mechanisms for bridging structural differences across metamodels.
