4.6.1 An Integrated Tool Suite for the NOAA Observing System Ar chitecture
James Nello Martin Jr. · INCOSE International Symposium · 2003
Abstract The NOAA Observing System Architecture describes a number of observing systems that provide accurate and timely environmental information to various stakeholders who depend on this information to make critical decisions about farming, construction, fishing, military operations, traffic safety, and so on. This paper describes a project to develop the interfaces between several tools to assist in development of the NOAA Observing System Architecture. We used “knowledge modeling” as the basic approach to capture information about the systems and other entities associated with the architecture. We are using the Metis enterprise architecture tool along with DOORS for requirements, NOAA Forge for team collaboration, and ArcIMS for geospatial data visualization.
