APPENDIX III
USIGS Operational Activity Hierarchy
30.1 Introduction
30.1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the USIGS Activity Hierarchy (AH) is to identify activities associated with specific tasks, the relationships among activities, and the decomposition of the activities.
30.1.2 Scope
For a given architecture perspective, the USIGS Activity Hierarchy starts by using one of the tasks at the top of the hierarchy. This top-level task is then broken down into lower level tasks until the tasks at the lowest level can be clearly identified with a particular operational element or node responsible for accomplishing the task. The Activity Hierarchy should be refined only to the level necessary to meet the needs of the architecture being developed. At times, however, some levels of the hierarchy may be refined to a lower level of detail so as to address some specific objectives of the architecture being developed. Initially, the "As-Is" and "To-Be" Activity Hierarchies are based upon existing and projected NIMA/DO tasks. Eventually, these products will be expanded to include tasks performed by other NIMA entities, and representative USIGS collection, processing, production, and dissemination organizations.
30.1.3 Applicability
The USIGS Activity Hierarchy consists of a list of activities that NIMA conducts in fulfilling its role of providing imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information to the Imagery and Geospatial Community (IGC). The Hierarchy drives the USIGS Activity Diagram (AD) and the USIGS Information Exchange Requirements Matrix (IERM), and provides output information to the USIGS Evolutionary Phase Implementation Plan (EPIP). The planning process, requirements process, acquisition process, resource management, and community interaction are also influenced, to some degree, by the Activity Hierarchy.
