INSIDE THE REFERENCE
Open the book.
Follow the meaning.
The first complete reference to UAF 1.2 written for practitioners — and a full preparation path for the OMG UAF certification exam. Scroll through real excerpts from the volume, from foundations to the stakeholder reference.
How the certification works, where UAF came from, and the vocabulary the rest of the book depends on — architecture descriptions, views, viewpoints, the four-layer metamodel, and the Grid itself.
Chapters 1–6 — see the full contents ↓Architecture Management and Summary & Overview, then Strategic through Actual Resources in full — every view specification with its concerns, metamodel grounding, and worked views. The core of the reference and of the exam.
Chapters 7–17 — see the full contents ↓Environment, Measurements, Risk and Requirements; how views are drawn and traced end to end; the six model-analysis types the exam expects — closing with the terms, stakeholder, and delta reference appendices.
Chapters 18–24 — see the full contents ↓Eight appendices close the volume — terms and definitions, the UAF stakeholder reference, detailed exam coverage, the UAF 1.3 delta, implementation notation, recommended reading, and the DMM and Measurements Library references.
