3

1. What are the Relationships?

• The CIO Council has three Committees:– Architecture & Infrastructure (AIC), Best

Practices (BPC), & IT Work Force (ITWF).• The AIC has four Sub-committees: Data

Architecture, Emerging Technology, Governance, and Services.

• The BPC has a KM Work Group (Knowledge Management) which has six SIGs (or CoPs).

– Communities of Practice; Education, Learning, and Development; Taxonomies; Semantic Interoperability (CoP); Knowledge Retention; and KM Technology.

4


• The AIC & BPC have done joint events & collaborations:– E.g., July 23 and August 17, 2004, Best Practices in Enterprise

Architecture Seminar and Collaborative Expedition Workshop on Harvesting EA Best Practices Using Communities of Practice, respectively.

• The AIC’s Emerging Technology Subcommittee and BPC’s SICoP are doing joint Collaborative Expedition Workshops:– E.g. January 24, 2006, Advancing Credible Agreements Across

Networked Improvement Communities: Bootstrapping Service-Oriented Architecture and Semantic Interoperability Toward Transformative Practice.

5


• The AIC has asked the SICoP to perform projects:– E.g. DRM 2.0 Management Team - DRM 2.0 Implementation

Through Testing & Iteration, September 2005-April 2006:• Reported out Implementation Guide and evolved to the SICoP

Semantic Wikis and Information Management (SWIM) Working Group.

– E.g. Governance Subcommittee - SOA CoP and SOA for E-Governance Conference, January 2006 to present:

• Formed open, transparent CoP, organized first conference (May 23-24th) around DRM 2.0 structure (specification, governance, and implementation) plus connections to the FEA SCRM, developing interoperable SOA demo specification in cooperation with multiple standards organizations and vendors, and have interest already in Second SOA for E-Government Conference in October 2006.

2. What is SOA?• At the OMG meeting last week, the SOA SIG adopted the following

definition of SOA:– Allows participants in the communities to work together with minimal co-

dependence or technology dependence– Specifies the contracts to which organizations, people and technologies

must adhere in order to participate in the community– Provides for business value and business processes to be realized by

the community– Allows for a variety of technology to be used to facilitate interactions

within the community• The corresponding definition of service has not yet been finalized

but the sense of the group is that there would be both a business/domain centric notion of service as well as an interaction focused definition.

• In both cases this seems to fit well with the notion of SOA that is evolving in this group and in the SOA Demo.

2. What is SOA?

• The definition of SOA presented at The Open Group conference last week (and which we have shared with the OMG):– SOA is an architectural style that supports service orientation:

• Service orientation - A way of a way of thinking in terms of services and service based development and the outcomes that services bring.

• Service - A logical representation of a repeatable business activity that has a specified outcome (e.g., check customer credit; provide weather data, consolidate drilling reports), is self-contained and maybe composed of other Services. It is a black box to consumers of the Service.

• Architectural Style - The combination of distinctive features in which Enterprise Architecture is done, or expressed.

• Source: Chris Harding, May 5, 2006, SOA CoP Archive.

2. What is SOA?• The definition of SOA presented at The Open Group conference last

week (and which we have shared with the OMG) (continued):– The SOA Architectural style’s distinctive features:

• Based on the design of the services comprising an enterprise’s (or inter-enterprise) business processes. Services mirror real-world business activity.

• Service representation utilizes business descriptions. Service representation requires providing its context (including business process, goal, rule, policy, service interface and service component) and service orchestration to implement service.

• Has unique requirements on infrastructure. Implementations are recommended to use open standards, realize interoperability and location transparency.

• Implementations are environment specific, they are constrained or enabled by context and must be described within their context.

• Requires strong governance of service representation and implementation• Requires a “Litmus Test", which determined a “good service”.

2. What is SOA?• SOA CoP Glossary:

– A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) defines how two computing entities interact in such a way as to enable one entity to perform a unit of work on behalf of the another entity. The unit of work is referred to as a service, and the service interactions are defined using a description language. Each interaction is self-contained and loosely coupled, so that each interaction is independent of any other interaction.
