I opened up a project at SourceForge (A place for developers to congregate around opensource software projects)
And I went ahead and charted out the end product of the software. Check out the picture for a generic system definition and an example of my favorite kind: a space capsule system definition. GO ahead. Click on it to see what I'm talking about.
Did you click on the picture above? Do it.A little more information for those who care:
Fields for classes of data:
System Requirements
Stakeholder requirements and objectives
Items (carriers of data between logical functions or physical subsystems)
Functions
Physical Elements
Logical interfaces
Physical links
Metadata for the projects that people start:
Concept of Operations
Context Diagram
Programs that provide a framework for system architecture definition are not new at all. The new thing here is making it a web based wiki with net-enabled functionality and watering down the framework so that it doesn't include all the ISO motherhood which scares away the non-systems engineers who actually have the domain knowledge about creating valuable systems.
