TV-1 defines the technical and non-technical standards, guidance and policy applicable to the architecture. The standards specified in TV-1 may be traced to elements elsewhere in the architecture to indicate those elements conform to the standards.
Standards are essential to the coherent running of businesses and to the delivery of reliable, interoperable systems. The TV-1 lists all the currently ratified standards that have been used throughout the architecture, and so acts as a checklist to help the architect ensure conformance.
A TV-2, Standards Forecast, should additionally be used if emerging standards have been identified and used in the architecture.
Usage
The intended usage of the TV-1 includes:
- Application of standards (informing project strategy).
- Standards compliance.
Product Description
A TV-1 view is typically a table showing the standards used throughout the architecture. The standards need not be technical, and may be related to business or military doctrine, best practice, or even legislation.
Two products are provided to describe the technical and operational standards used.
