This document refers to Chapter 4, Section 2.2, of the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) version 4. It provides guidance on how to develop NAFv4 compliant architectures based on the ArchiMate 3.2
specification.
The NATO Architecture Framework document concerns all nations or organizations using the NAF. It is provided and maintained by the NATO Architecture Capability Team (ACaT). The ArchiMate modeling guidelines (i.e. this document) concern all nations or organizations using the ArchiMate modelling language for their architecture development. Because tools and specific extensions of framework and language may differ between nations or organizations, these aspects are not considered in this document. Nations or organizations need to provide and maintain additional guidelines in order to cover these aspects themselves.
