# Overview

The federated enterprise architecture repository at the Department of
Health and Human Services implements a common framework for enterprise
information while at the same time allowing distributed maintenance and
sharing of relevant information between and within Operating Divisions
(OPDIVs) and Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs)[^1].

The fundamental principles of the EA framework can be summarized in the
following three points:

-   Eight-Layer architecture---provides a common structure for EA
    information across the entire department. It allows the organization
    to share and leverage EA information throughout the department.

-   Federated Repository---is a repository of federated models that
    allows for maintenance close to the respective information
    sources---department, OPDIV, or center/institute/office (C/I/O). It
    avoids redundancy and duplication of data entry.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   One Model Many Views---captures the fact that there is one model for
    all EA data, regardless of whether it is target or baseline.
    Multiple views (such as baseline or target) are then created to
    support various EA stakeholders.

## Understanding Key Framework Concepts

For an understanding of the Repository framework described in this
document, it is important to understand key concepts of enterprise
architecture (EA) modeling.

The **framework** provides the concepts and guidance necessary to
maintain and use the EA Repository. It includes a **metamodel**, which
defines the kinds of information that can be recorded in the repository.
The kinds of data the framework describes are called **entity types**
(or, sometimes, **object types**). Entity types are analogous to tables
in database theory or to classes in object-oriented theory. Conceptually
related entities are grouped together into **layers**, described in
further detail below.

Entity types represent an important concept or abstraction of the
enterprise architecture; they are the "nouns." Each entity contains one
or more **attributes** that describe it. Further, each entity type may
be conceptually linked to one or more other entity types in a
**relationship**. The entity types, attributes, and relationships can be
represented in graphic notation using the Unified Modeling Language
(UML), as we have done in section 4. Section 4.2.5 has some additional
notes on the use of UML in this document.

It is important to distinguish between the metamodel and the **model,**
or **repository**. The framework is merely a blueprint that describes
what kinds of EA data can be stored in an EA model repository
implemented with technologies like Metis or EAMS; the actual data for
each instance (called instance data) is contained in the EA model
itself. For example, "Organization" is an entity type, while "NIH,"
"CDC," and "FDA" are instances of the type.

A **federated model** is a system of cooperating models that all adhere
to common rules, such as, stewardship principles or a common metamodel.
Each cooperating model can be updated independently, including
relationships to objects in other models.

## The HHS Federated EA Model

The HHS Federated EA Model allows for simultaneous updates of EA
information distributed across three levels of the organization, namely,
department, OPDIV, and Center/Institute/Office (C/I/O) levels.

The Federated Model also allows information of departmental scope (such
as policies, standards, and common reference models) to be maintained in
a departmental model, and information of OPDIV scope to be maintained in
a model for each OPDIV.

The information will still be shared across the federated models
allowing, for instance, a project manager at office-level to relate
specific Information Systems to HHS policies and Federal Enterprise
Architecture (FEA) reference models defined in the departmental model.

An analogy can be made between the HHS Federated EA Model and the
organization of a country. Just as rules can be defined and services
performed at national, regional, and local levels, the HHS Federated EA
Model allows, for instance, standards to be defined with department-wide
scope, but also refined within the scope of an OPDIV.

Exhibit 2-1 illustrates (with an FDA example) the three levels of
repository maintenance (upper part). It also shows that entities can be
related between submodels within the federated repository. The lower
part illustrates how information from various submodels can be presented
in views targeted at different stakeholder needs.

It should also be noted that the federated framework allows a submodel
at any level to be further decomposed in order to delegate maintenance
to the proper subject matter experts. (Disregard illegible picture
elements in Exhibit 2-1---its purpose is to illustrate the general
principle of the Federated EA at HHS.)

## The HHS Eight-Layer Framework Model

The HHS EA Framework has been organized hierarchically into an
eight-layer model where the initial layers represent higher levels of
abstraction identifying business and strategic concerns, while
subsequent layers focus on more detailed aspects of the architecture
typically more technical or detailed in nature. In this way, the
definition of the HHS EA Framework follows the paradigm of other widely
used EA frameworks such as the Zachman Framework by incorpor­ating levels
of abstraction within the architecture.

The HHS framework is also similar to the Federal Enterprise Architecture
Framework (FEAF). Four layers of the HHS framework map directly to the
FEAF layers of Business, Data, Application (i.e., Service), and
Technology; while the other four HHS layers of Strategy, Investment,
Workforce, and Facilities also map into the Business layer of the FEAF.
The HHS business architecture layer has been defined to delineate the
business architecture in order to capture components that are important
to the departmental view of HHS.

Security components will also be integrated into all layers of the HHS
EA framework, given the importance of security in all components of the
metamodel.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc164562288 .anchor}Exhibit 2‑2 HHS EA Framework
Layers

The entity types defined by the HHS EA Framework constitute the least
common denominator that all OPDIV EA Repositories must comply with, in
order to support the HHS Federated EA Repository. This means that all
entity types and relationship types in the HHS EA Framework, with their
respective attributes, must be supported by all OPDIV repositories.

**Please note that an OPDIV will have the flexibility to extend the HHS
EA Framework to incorporate EA information which is specific for the
particular OPDIV.**

A detailed description of each layer of the architecture follows in
section below. Subsequent releases of this document will be updated to
reflect changes to the HHS EA Framework.

## Support for Baseline and Target Architecture

All entity and relationship types in the framework have attributes that
allow for the capture of the life span of an instance. This is the
foundation which allows as-is and to-be information to be recorded in
the same model. Model information can then be used in views and reports
to present architecture snapshots from virtually any period or point in
time. (Exhibit 2-1 indicates this in the Application Transition View in
the lower right corner.) The attributes that provide this capability are
"Effective date" and "Expiration date." For each of the two date fields
there is also a status field to indicate whether the date is
"confirmed."

# HHS Federated Enterprise Architecture Framework

This section elaborates two important aspects of a federated EA
framework, namely, the development and enhancements of the framework
itself and the features allowing efficient use of the EA model (i.e.,
the knowledge delivery).

## EA Framework Development

The framework itself must be federated in a federated environment[^2].
This means that the department level framework defines a minimum set of
model capabilities, which must be applied throughout the entire
enterprise. The OPDIVs, even down to C/I/O level, are still allowed to
add detail according to their unique needs.

### Framework Artifacts

The framework comprises two groups of artifacts. One group is the actual
metamodel, which defines the information capture capabilities of the EA
Repository. The other group contains artifacts which aid in the use and
capture of the knowledge. These are the **knowledge delivery
artifacts**, as listed below:

  ------------------------------ -------- --------------------------------
  Metamodel Artifacts:                    Knowledge Delivery Artifacts:

  Entity types                            Queries

  Relationship types                      Views

                                          Reports

                                          Reference models (taxonomy)

                                          Scripts for automated import,
                                          export, and other repository
                                          maintenance

                                          Documentation, such as this
                                          document and training material.
  ------------------------------ -------- --------------------------------

### Framework Extensibility

The department level metamodel defines the **minimum set of
information** that must be shared across the enterprise. The other
framework artifacts at the department level also represent what is
common to the entire enterprise (except for some artifacts, e.g., some
reports and views that reflect the unique needs of the department level
knowledge delivery).

OPDIVs and C/I/Os are allowed to add to the framework according to the
unique needs of each component organization. **Metamodel extensions must
adhere to the principle of strict extension**, that is, extensions at a
lower enterprise level must fully include all the capabilities of the
level above. This ensures that the minimum requirements on information
sharing, defined at the level above are still met.

Knowledge delivery artifacts from a higher level may not be needed at
the lower level. For example, some reports or views may be of no
interest to the lower level organization. These artifacts are still
inherited as part of the framework, but the lower level organization has
the option not to use them, thereby offering its staff a more focused,
less confusing interface to the EA Repository. It is, of course,
possible for an OPDIV to add its own unique knowledge delivery
artifacts, such as views, reports, etc.

Consider this framework extensibility example:

-   The department level framework defines the entity type Business
    Process with the attributes "name," "description," "effective date,"
    "expiration date," "modified by," "modified on," "full name,"
    "sensitivity," "security categorization level," and "source."

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   CMS needs the additional attributes "automated/manual," "level of
    abstraction," "trigger event," "process output,"
    "mission-essential," and "trusted."

The extensibility of the federated EA allows CMS to define the type CMS
Business Process as a subtype of Business Process and CMS Business
Process entities will thus include the combined list of attributes (as
illustrated in the figure below).

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc164562289 .anchor}Exhibit 3‑3 Metamodel Extension
Example

### Metis Metamodeling Guidelines

This section is intended for Metis metamodel developers implementing an
extended metamodel for an OPDIV or a C/I/O[^3].

#### Metamodel naming rule

Metamodels should use the folder structure recommended by Troux
(formerly Computas), the Metis vendor. The following naming rule should
be used for top level metamodel folders to facilitate the maintenance of
the federated framework. The HHS metamodel name pattern is "xml.hhs.gov"
The OPDIV metamodel name pattern is "xml.OPDIV.hhs.gov" (e.g.,
xml.cms.hhs.gov, or xml.samsha.hhs.gov). The C/I/O metamodel name
pattern is "xml.C/I/O.OPDIV.hhs.gov" (e.g., xml.cfsan.fda.hhs.gov).

#### Metamodel Overrides and Model Binding

An OPDIV metamodel should always override the HHS metamodel. A C/I/O
metamodel should always override its OPDIV metamodel. Override
metamodels should specify replacement of the overridden metamodel types
which are specialized. The override "Hide" feature should not be used.
Specialized types in an OPDIV or C/I/O metamodel should always be
defined with the corresponding type in the overridden metamodel as the
base type. This ensures that all features from the overridden metamodel
are carried forward while at the same time offering modelers a clean
customized "palette" of only the entity types they should use.

> Models should always bind to the most specialized metamodel and only
> to that metamodel. That is, a C/I/O model should bind to the C/I/O
> metamodel, if one exists; or to the OPDIV metamodel, if one exists,
> or, if not, to the HHS metamodel. The only exception to this rule
> would be if an organization has additional modeling needs that require
> features not included in the HHS metamodels. An example of this would
> be UML modeling. The UML model is part of the HHS Metis license but
> not included in the HHS metamodel. UML modeling may be valuable for a
> project and the model for that project may thus bind to both the HHS
> metamodel and the UML metamodel.

### Governance of the Framework

Changes to the HHS EA Repository Framework (HEAR-F) are governed by the
process described in the document "HHS Enterprise Architecture -
Configuration Management Plan for HHS EA Repository." This process
defines the HHS EA Model Working Group (MWG) as the Configuration
Control Board (CCB) for HEAR-F. (See that document for details.) The MWG
is a subgroup of the HHS Enterprise Architecture Review Board (EARB).

### Evolving the Framework

Please note that this framework document will remain dynamic as new
information and strategies are integrated into the framework as
appropriate.

This release of the framework builds upon the previous releases and
expands several framework layers, according to the experience gained.
The framework incorporates industry best practices and content available
from published HHS sources, such as planning documents and previous
architecture efforts. Input sources to the design of the metamodel
include:

-   Federal Enterprise Architecture

-   EARB including the EA Model Working Group

-   HHS Strategic Plan/HHS IT Strategic Plan

-   HHS IT Architecture (2000/2002)

-   OMB Exhibit 300 Schema for FY06

-   HHS ITIRB Decisions

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Additional sources such as other agencies EA. (Appendix C lists
    several references.)

The fidelity of the HHS Metamodel (and the HHS EA Repository content) to
the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Reference Models is maintained
such that changes to the content are updated in the HHS EA Repository as
they are published by the Office of Management and Budget. It is
anticipated that the FEA reference models will include results from the
Federal Health Architecture Initiative.[^4]

## Knowledge Delivery

The most important acceptance criterion of the EA repository is that it
will be used by the organization to meet its business needs. The
organization should recognize the EA repository as a valued information
tool that aids personnel in solving business problems and in performing
daily business functions, as well as improving the performance of the
department in meeting its business obligations.

The framework has the potential to describe and thus provide EA
knowledge on any area of HHS business. The EA Program uses the term
"segment" (or, sometimes, "domain") to refer to such area of HHS
business. The definition of segments and the order in which they are
modeled is the responsibility of the HHS Chief Enterprise Architect
(CEA). Other documents describe the modeling process to apply for each
segment. This will not be repeated here.

It is understood that framework information must be organized in various
reports and views to meet the analysis and decision support needs of the
different EA information users. The requirements and the implementation
approach for the presentation are described in the current version of
document "HHS Enterprise Architecture -- Metis View Design Guide" and
will not be repeated here.

## Common Modeling Features

### Common Entity Attributes

Entity attributes common to all entity types and all relation types in
the Enterprise Architecture Repository are:

  ---------------- ----------------- ------------------------------------
  Attribute        Type              Description

  Description      String            Brief description of the entity
                                     instance

  Effective Date   Date              The date the artifact becomes
                                     effective in the enterprise

  Effective Date   Boolean           Indicates whether the effective date
  Confirmed                          is a planned date or if it has been
                                     confirmed.

  Expiration Date  Date              The date an artifact is retired or
                                     replaced. It is essential that this
                                     field is populated as soon as this
                                     date is planned.

  Expiration Date  Boolean           Indicates whether the expiration
  Confirmed                          date is a planned date or if it has
                                     been confirmed.

  Modified By      String            The name (user id) of the person
                                     making the latest modification to
                                     the artifact.

  Modified On      Date              The date the artifact was last
                                     modified.
  ---------------- ----------------- ------------------------------------

For all entity types there are one additional attribute:

  ---------------- ----------------- ------------------------------------
  Attribute        Type              Description

  Name             String            Instance name: should be brief and
                                     natural to subject matter experts
                                     (SMEs) and should uniquely identify
                                     the entity instance.

  ID               String            Unique ID for the artifact modeled
                                     by this entity (object) (e.g., the
                                     project ID for a project, objective
                                     number for an objective, etc.
  ---------------- ----------------- ------------------------------------

The common attributes will not be repeated in the descriptions below,
unless there is a special provision for how the attribute is used with a
particular entity.

### Recommended Properties and Relationships

It is recommended that you populate the properties and relationships
highlighted by a **boldface** font in the entity descriptions throughout
section 4.

### The Replacement Relation

There is one special relationship type, "replaces/replaced by," that can
be inserted between any two entities of the same type. This relationship
type provides a basic mechanism for transition planning in the EA
Repository. That is, the same EA repository model contains both "as-is"
and "to-be" information. Showing a particular "to-be" state or a
particular sequencing plan thus becomes only a matter of applying a view
or generating a report, based on a data range or a sequence of entities
linked by "replaces/replaced by" relations.

### Online Documents

All HHS metamodel entity types can be linked to arbitrary online
documents, identified by URIs. This provides a convenient way to make
reference documentation available to the users of the EA Repository.
Modelers should still use this feature with caution and only provide
links to stable sources. The effort of maintaining these links may
otherwise be greater than the benefit to the EA Repository users.

### UML

The metamodel diagrams below follow Unified Modeling Language standard
(UML), which notation includes the following.

-   Entity types (classes) are shown as rectangles. Attributes are
    listed inside the rectangles. Derived attributes are prefixed with a
    "/" character

![](media/image3.wmf){width="1.6368055555555556in"
height="0.7965277777777777in"}

-   Relations (associations) are shown as lines. Relationship
    multiplicity, i.e., one-to-many, many-to-many, etc. is shown with a
    cardinality symbol at each end of a relationship. Cardinality can be
    shown as a range ("0..1"), a number ("1"), or as "\*" meaning "0 or
    many."

![](media/image4.wmf){width="4.129861111111111in"
height="1.4784722222222222in"}

-   An aggregation is a one-to-many relationship, symbolized by a line
    with a diamond in the aggregate end. A black diamond represents
    containment, which is a strict part of relation. An open diamond is
    the general aggregation, which allows aggregates to share elements.

![](media/image5.wmf){width="6.314583333333333in"
height="1.6284722222222223in"}

Each diagram below is focused on one specific layer, but it also
includes related entity types from other layers. Entity and relationship
types added to the framework during the past quarter are shown outlined
in red[^5] and a colored background is used to clearly indicate objects
from other layers. Objects from other layers also have their names
prefixed with their layer name.

-   Derived relationships: Some diagrams in the sections below show
    relationship names with a derived-prefix (a "/," e.g., /support).
    This is an indicator that this particular relationship could also be
    derived from more fundamental relationships. Modeling the
    fundamental relation­ships is always preferred to modeling a
    "derived" relationship. The derived relation­ships are included as a
    compromise, recognizing that for a young EA program, it may be hard
    to quickly gather all fundamental data.

### The Taxonomy Type

A special type "Taxonomy" can serve as the root of several "category"
types. The taxonomy type can thus appear in several layers. This type
emphasizes the importance of taxonomies in the analysis of EA
information.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Entity Name      Taxonomy          
  ---------------- ----------------- ------------------------------------
  Entity           The Taxonomy type 
  Description      serves as the     
                   root for various  
                   "category" types. 
                   A Taxonomy object 
                   should always     
                   have an           
                   "owns/owned by"   
                   relation to an    
                   organization.     

  Examples                           

  Entity Source                      

  Unique           Type              Description
  Attributes                         

  No additional                      
  attributes                         

  relation:                          
  Organization                       
  \[0, \*\] ---                      
  owns/owned by →                    
  Taxonomy \[0,                      
  1\]                                
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

## Strategy Layer 

### Strategy Layer Description 

The Strategy Layer includes entities and relationships that pertain to
HHS enterprise planning, such as:

-   Motivation (goals, objectives and commitments)

-   Plans (planning documents, initiatives, and action plans)

-   Forces and requirements shaping HHS strategy (departmental vision
    and mission, external forces, trends, and strategic drivers)

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Performance indicators (including performance categories, goals, and
    measurements)

The Strategy layer represents the requirements to which the enterprise
architecture, and the initiatives that are evaluated against it, must
conform. All investments should ultimately be traceable to one or more
entities within the Strategy layer. The entities within the Strategy
layer are modeled in Exhibit 4-4.

### Relationship to the FEA Reference Models 

The Strategy layer incorporates all entities from the FEA Performance
Reference Model (PRM). The PRM describes the general categories and
classes of performance measurements, while leaving the description and
implementation of specific metrics to agencies. Exhibit 4-1 shows all
entity types and all supported relationships for those types.

## Investment Layer

### Investment Layer Description 

The Investment Layer includes entities and relationships that pertain to
HHS enterprise planning, such as:

-   Key investment and initiative entities, including OMB 300
    investments, accounts, and relationships to strategic initiatives

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Programs and Projects

The Investment layer represents the financial aspect of an enterprise.
It includes concepts that allow the EA information to be reconciled with
investment and project control information. The entities within the
Investment layer are modeled in Exhibit 4-5.

### Relationship to the FEA Reference Model 

The Investment Layer does not directly incorporate any FEA reference

## Business Layer

### Business Layer Description 

The Business Layer includes entities and relationships that pertain to
HHS business activities, such as:

-   Business responsibilities (business areas, lines of business, and
    business subfunctions) within the FEA

-   Business processes, including the related participants (Business
    Roles), business objects (data), process rationale (relation to
    drivers), and the organizational context (organizational units)

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Business process workflows can be modeled, using the Business
    Process Modeling Notation (BPMN).

Investments evaluated by the EA process should ultimately support one or
more business processes within HHS. The entities within the Business
layer are modeled in Exhibit 4-6.

### Relationship to the FEA Reference Models 

The Business Layer incorporates all entities from the FEA Business
Reference Model (BRM). The BRM describes the general categories and
classes of business services offered by agencies. The HHS EA augments
this by breaking large-scale services into individual business
processes. The layer overview diagram below shows all entity types and
all supported relationships for those types.

## Data Layer

### Data Layer Description

The Data Layer includes entities and relationships that pertain to HHS
data, such as:

-   General classification of data according to the FEA DRM guidelines

-   Enterprise data objects representing key domain entities

-   Information exchange formats

### Relationship to the FEA Reference Models 

The Data Layer incorporates entities from the FEA Data Reference Model
(DRM 2.0). However, concepts for detailed data modeling are not included
in the EA Framework. The benefit of EA modeling lays in showing
interdependencies between different aspects of an enterprise. Details of
the respective aspects are better handled by the respective subject
matter experts using the optimal tools. The layer overview diagram below
shows all entity types and all supported relationships for those types.

## Service Layer

### Service Layer Description

The Service Layer includes entities and relationships that pertain to
HHS Information Systems, such as:

-   Deployed (as-is) and future (to-be) HHS Information Systems

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Service components and their associated types and domains from the
    FEA Service Component Model

### Relationship to the FEA Reference Models 

The Service Layer incorporates all entities from the FEA Service
Component Reference Model (SRM). The SRM describes general categories
and classes of Information System services, as well as individual
service components (e.g., Customer Relationship Management) that may be
fulfilled by one or more Information Systems. The layer overview diagram
below shows all entity types and all supported relationships for those
types.

## Security Aspects

### Security Aspects Description

The Security Aspect includes entities and relationships that pertain to
HHS security. Also note that many entity types in various layers include
security related attributes.

### Relationship to the FEA Reference Models

The FEA reference models do not directly address security aspects. The
layer overview diagram below shows all entity types and all supported
relationships for those types.

                                        Security Profile itself, if it is
                                        higher.

  /Integrity Score    low moderate high The highest integrity value defined
                                        for any DRM Data Property belonging
                                        to the associated DRM Data Object,
                                        or defined in the Data Security
                                        Profile itself.

  /Availability Score low moderate high The highest availability value
                                        defined for any DRM Data Property
                                        belonging to the associated DRM Data
                                        Object, or assigned in the Data
                                        Security Profile itself.

  /FIPS 199 Score     low moderate high This value is derived as the highest
                                        of the confidentiality, integrity
                                        and availability scores for the
                                        current System Security Profile.

  Assigned            low moderate high This value is used to raise the
  Confidentiality     N/A               Confidentiality Score above the
                                        rolled up value (but not to lower
                                        it).

  Assigned Integrity  low moderate high This value is used to raise the
                                        Integrity Score above the rolled up
                                        value (but not to lower it).

  Assigned            low moderate high This value is used to raise the
  Availability                          Availability Score above the rolled
                                        up value (but not to lower it).

[^1]: The term OPDIV should be interpreted to also include STAFFDIVs
    throughout this document, except where a distinction is explicitly
    made.

[^2]: This is analogous to how laws are defined at different levels of
    government.

[^3]: It is anticipated that all implementation details in this section
    will be moved to a separate "metamodeling guide" document. The text
    remains here pending a decision by HHS to maintain such a document.

[^4]: It is the responsibility of the HHS EA program to update
    information of common scope and to inform the OPDIVs of the changes.
    It is the responsibility of each OPDIV EA program to maintain the
    alignment between their repository artifacts and the updated common
    information such as a FEA reference model.

[^5]: The TSS Team is aware that color coding is not ideal. However the
    UML standard applies significance to line shapes and this is the
    best compromise we have been able to devise so far.
