In UAF, a data construct that is part of a Data Model, flows between OperationalPerformers and is produced, and is consumed by the OperationalActivities that the OperationalPerformers are capable of performing. An entity contains attributes, which themselves are local instantiations of Data Elements. Previously, in DoDAF 2, users would model the Data (DM2) concept, and specify the Entity that the Data (DM2) represented. Now users can directly specify InformationElements (which are represented on logical data models) in the architecture.
