Getting Started with GENESYS API
The GENESYS architecture was designed with an extensive public Application Programming Interface (API) in mind, providing full programmatic access to repository and project model data. Vitech follows standard, accepted Microsoft .NET framework practices when it comes to managing public interfaces, resulting in a familiar look and feel to external application developers.
REST API Guide
The GENESYS architecture was designed with an extensive public Application Programming Interface (API) in mind, providing full programmatic access to repository and project model data. The REST API enables integrations with any client capable of handling HTTP/HTTPS communications, such as a web browser or other REST APIs.
DoDAF v2.0 Viewpoint Definitions
The following instructions identify the entities that appear in the various DoDAF 2.0 Viewpoints. It identifies the relationships used to select the appropriate entities contained in the viewpoint. It also identifies attributes that may appear in the viewpoint.

Definition Guides
Architecture Definition Guide
Updated for DoDAF 2.0, this comprehensive guide provides a structured approach to populating a CORE project with architecture definition information using the CORE 9 DoDAF schema. It provides insight and helps teams understand how to make the most effective use of CORE on a project responding to DoDAF. This guide augments the Model-Based Systems Engineering with CORE training course.
System Definition Guide
This guide describes a structured approach to populating a CORE project with systems engineering information using the basic schema provided with CORE. It presents actions that must be accomplished in the context of the classic systems engineering activities of requirements analysis, functional analysis, physical architecture synthesis, and verification and validation. Each activity and the CORE schema classes used to capture the associated information in the system definition repository are described. In addressing each activity, attention is given to populating the repository to facilitate the production of formal documents using the standard scripts provided with CORE. This guide augments the Model-Based Systems Engineering with CORE training course.
