Aligning assets to the DRM
To align assets to the Data Reference Model (DRM), use the DRM Categorization of Asset matrix in the FEAF2 matrix set. To do so:
1 Select View > Matrix Browser.
2 In the Matrix Browser dialog, select the FEAF 2 matrix set, notated by the red star at the bottom of the dialog.
3 Select the DRM Categorization of Asset matrix.
4 Toggle the cell of the intersection of assets that meet an DRM Category. An X is placed in the cell.
5 You can optionally right-mouse click on the cell an open the cell definition – in this case the Consolidated Reference Model (CRM) DRM Categorization definition.
Note The CRM DRM Categorization definition does not include much additional information out of the box –- however you can customize the metamodel to specify, for example, to what degree the asset meets the categorization, and so on.
System Architect enables you to categorize the following asset types against FEAF 2 DRM Categories through the DRM Categorization of Asset matrix:
