1.0 About this release

The IBM® Rational® Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) modeling feature provides systems architects with integrated modeling tools to describe the architecture of a complex system. The DoDAF feature uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a base to represent a system's structure in visual, textual, and tabular formats. This release is a technical preview of the DoDAF modeling capabilities. Some of the generated work products are not complete and require additional changes to suit your architecture description requirements.

You can install this version of the feature for use with IBM Rational Software Architect Fix Pack 6.0.1.2, IBM Rational Software Modeler Fix Pack 6.0.1.2, or IBM Rational Systems Developer Fix Pack 6.0.1.2.
