What does DoDAF 2.02 (DoD Architecture Framework Version 2.02) require of a Compliance Officer?

DoDAF 2.02 (Change 1, January 2015) is the US Department of Defense's architecture framework: a data-centric framework with the DoDAF Meta-model (DM2), four conformance levels and eight viewpoints whose 52 models describe capabilities, operations, services, systems, data, projects and standards so that architecture descriptions support DoD decision processes (JCIDS, PPBE, acquisition, systems engineering, operations) and can be exchanged through the Physical Exchange Specification. Under DoDAF 2.02 (DoD Architecture Framework Version 2.02), which defines 75 controls, a Compliance Officer's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
