CADM 2.0 is intended to be used by C4ISR architecture planners as the basic set of standardized entities that should be used in building C4ISR architectures in conformance with the C4ISR Architecture Framework Version 2.0. It provides data requirement specifications (in the form of a conceptual data model) for the essential elements of information contained in DoD C4ISR architectures. The goal is to improve the potential for exchange of such information among architectures and specifically between architecture development tools.
The CADM is a conceptual, not a physical, data model. This means that its primary purpose is to specify single-concept data requirements, formalizing both meaning and relationships of data. The CADM thereby promotes interoperability of architecture tools and exchange of architecture data among the Commands, Services, and Agencies, since exchanging information in a way that preserves meaning and relationships is the basic requirement for interoperability.
