CGEA Perspectives The six perspectives of the CGEA framework organize the USCG’s complex business and technical information. The perspectives enable users to compare and relate information across mission and organizational boundaries to promote information sharing and integration. Each perspective provides users a different view of USCG business and IT information as described below. • Performance: The Performance Perspective provides information about the measurement of USCG strategic and business outcomes. This includes information from the U.S. <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> Posture Statement (with 2009 Budget in Brief) and the OMB Performance Assessment Rating Tool (PART). • Business: The Business Perspective describes the functions and activities that the USCG performs. An example of these functions and activities is “port, waterway, and coastal security.” • Information: The Information Perspective depicts the information needed to perform the USCG mission and business activities. Examples include information about vessels, cargo, parties, patrols, rescues, boardings, and investigations. • Service: The Service Perspective includes systems and applications, and their capabilities and functions that support USCG information requirements. Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE) is an example of a system. • Technology: The Technology Perspective shows the underlying technology infrastructure that supports USCG service delivery. An example of the type of information found in this perspective is the USCG Data Network (CGDN+). • Security: The Security Perspective describes how the USCG assures the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy of USCG information. Symantec Corporate anti-virus software is an example of the type of information managed in this perspective. CGEA Metamodel The CGEA Metamodel, Figure 7, shows how CGEA information is organized and displayed within each perspective. It consists of three different levels: profiles, models, and inventories. The pyramid below shows the connections between the levels and how the higher-level views are built on a foundation of the lower levels. The background images represent level of detail with the inventories cataloging the most detail, models showing relationships, and profiles providing a high-level (strategic) view. Figure 7: CGEA Metamodel 19
The metamodel tailors CGEA information to user needs and allows them to access information in various levels of detail as summarized below. • Profiles: High-level, strategic views of CGEA information for the executive decision-maker. As the satellite view of CGEA, profiles use graphic visualization to show complex information in a condensed format. • Models: Mid-level information products that graphically represent relationships. Models map the connections between elements in the CGEA by showing relationships between processes, entities, and the information they exchange. • Inventories: Detailed-level information products that provide a lot of descriptive information, usually in a spreadsheet or database format. Inventories define the distinct elements in the EA information forest and contain lots of information about distinct configuration items. CGEA Product Framework The CGEA Product Framework, Figure 8, brings together the structure of the CGEA Framework (the six perspectives) and the CGEA Metamodel (profiles, models, and inventories). The columns are the categories or perspectives of information in the architecture. The rows classify the level of information detail: high (profiles), medium (models), and low (inventories). The green-shaded cells indicate the information products that have been completed for Release 2 while the white-shaded cells indicate information products planned for future release.
