This paper provides guidance on how to use the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) to describe a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). With acceptance of Network-Centric Warfare (NCW) and "Net-centricity", the Department of Defense (DoD) is moving towards a dynamic producer/consumer environment. SOA is an architectural design approach to application integration that provides such an environment through the flexible connectivity of applications implemented as services. Such services have well-defined, platform-independent specifications that hide the underlying technical complexity of the implementation (encapsulation), are self-contained (loosely coupled), and reusable. DoDAF does not prescribe any particular approach (SOA or otherwise) for describing the architecture, only the elements and relationships needed to describe an architecture.
