Overview
  • Title
  • Emergence of a Distributed Services Grid
    Realizing Multiplicative Returns when eGovernment
    Service Components Align in a Services-Oriented
    Architecture.
  • Purpose
  • To Explore the Potentials and Realities of
    Realizing Enterprise Architecture through the
    Lessons of Communities Building the Grid.

Overview
  • Key Questions
  • How do the common "build" principles that power
    the Internet illumine the agile path from today's
    business process conversations to tomorrow's
    business process components?
  • How do semantic technologies lightly abstract and
    assemble shared meaning to sustain quality
    business conversations?
  • What distributed enterprise design tools
    accommodate the multiple forms of expertise that
    need to be expressed and integrated in agile
    business components within each Services
    life-cycle?
  • What can we learn from early developers and early
    adopters?

CIO Councils FY04 Strategic Plan
  • Emerging Technology Subcommittee, Architecture
    Infrastructure Committee
  • The mission is to provide a foresight mechanism
    that draws from FEA reference models and the
    capital planning and investment control process
    to create greater synergy between technology push
    cycles and market pull cycles in order to support
    a performance-based framework for innovation
    prototyping and adoption (bold added).

Brief History
  • The AIC chartered three Working Groups
    (Collaboration Expedition Workshops, XML, and XML
    Web Services) which were and still are very
    successful.
  • The AIC, which started as one integrated
    activity, reorganized into three Subcommittees
    and put the three WGs into the Emerging
    Technology Subcommittee.
  • The AIC decided it no longer wanted WGs, but by
    then the WGs had become CoPs and sources of best
    practices so they continued to support the AIC as
    well as broader needs.
  • For example the XML Web Services WG CoP morphed
    into Semantic Interoperability CoP!
  • The AIC decided it then wanted to become an
    integrated activity again like a CoP and formed
    the CAF CoP and wants to do a joint meeting with
    the Best Practices Committee in July!
  • The CIOs have realized that they cant do
    Enterprise Architecture alone, but need the
    expertise, participation, and resources of a
    network of CoPs and a re-training of the IT
    workforce!

27
Strategic Directions
  • GAO Report-The Federal Enterprise Architecture
    and Agencies Enterprise Architectures Are Still
    Maturing, May 19, 2004
  • The FEA is more akin to a classification scheme
    (taxonomy) for government operations than a true
    enterprise architecture.
  • Since the terms are not well-defined, GAO asks if
    the expected relationship between the FEA and
    agencies architectures is clear enough for
    agencies to map and align their architectures
    with the FEA (the semantic interoperability
    problem).
  • The agencies enterprise architectures may not
    provide sufficient content for driving
    implementation of systems.
  • The CIO Council is taking the lead on developing
    the security profile.

28
Strategic Directions
  • OMB Enterprise Architecture Assessment V 1.0
    Guidelines, May 15, 2004
  • Component A self-contained business process or
    service with pre-defined functionality that may
    be exposed through a business or technology
    interface.
  • Information Value Chain Model A set of
    artifacts within the EA that describes how the
    enterprise converts its data into useful
    information.
  • Patterns Frequently occurring combinations of
    business and technical elements that can be used
    to deliver re-usable business services across the
    enterprise.

29
Strategic Directions
  • OMB Enterprise Architecture Assessment V 1.0
    Guidelines, May 15, 2004
  • Node Diagram Diagrams depicting the
    interdependencies between elements of the
    architecture. Node diagrams can be used to
    describe the interaction of business functions
    with technology components, the relationship of
    performance objectives to elements of the
    architecture, and other relationships.
  • Shared Services Architectural elements
    (business processes and/or technology components)
    that are used by multiple organizations within
    the enterprise.

30
Strategic Directions
  • KM.Gov Discussion of Business Function Models
    (Denise Bedford, May 26, 2004)
  • The World Banks is a narrow and deep hierarchy
  • Level 1 General Business Area
  • Level 2 Business Activity
  • Level 3 Business Process
  • Level 4 Task
  • Note A service taxonomy is an inherent part of
    a business taxonomy and emerges at Level 3 and
    below. If you can keep business function and
    organizational unit as separate attributes, you
    can then see which organizational units may be
    offering the same kinds of services and this
    might help to form communities of practice across
    organizational units!

31
Strategic Directions
  • Enterprise Information Interoperability Workshop,
    June 28-29, 2004 (by invitation)
  • After a rousing keynote speaker (Jeffrey Pollack,
    co-author of Semantic Interoperability -
    available Fall 2004 from John Wiley Sons) and
    plenary session that is designed to stir your
    thinking, we will divide participants into three
    teams of approximately 20 each. The groups will
    select their own leadership and will be given a
    case study. Each group will have a facilitator
    and scribe. The teams will produce solutions to a
    case study that will be briefed the morning of
    the second day.
  • We anticipate a productive exchange of ideas that
    will stimulate new thinking with consideration
    for emerging technologies. We will publish the
    consolidated findings for presentation on
    Executive Day at the Association for Enterprise
    Integration (AFEI) Enterprise Integration Expo in
    September 2004.

32
Strategic Directions
  • Adaptive Information Improving Business Through
    Semantic Interoperability, Grid Computing
    Enterprise Integration, Jeffrey Pollack and Ralph
    Hodgson, John Wiley Sons, Fall 2004
  • Semantic Interoperability Framework
  • A highly dynamic, adaptable, loosely-coupled,
    flexible, real-time, secure, and open
    infrastructure service to facilitate a more
    automated information sharing framework among
    diverse organization environments.
  • Model-Driven Architecture
  • An approach to system development that emphasizes
    the use of models to separate specification of
    software application independent from the
    platform that supports it. The three primary
    goals of the MDA are portability,
    interoperability, and reusability.

33
Strategic Directions
  • Adaptive Information Improving Business Through
    Semantic Interoperability, Grid Computing
    Enterprise Integration, Jeffrey Pollack and Ralph
    Hodgson, John Wiley Sons, Fall 2004
    (continued)
  • Service Grid
  • A distributed system framework base around one or
    more Grid services instances. Grid services
    instances are (potentially transient) services
    that conform to a set of conventions (expressed
    as WSDL interfaces) for such purposes as lifetime
    management, discovery of characteristics,
    notification and so forth. They provide for the
    controlled management of the distributed and
    often long-lived state that is commonly required
    in sophisticated distributed applications.

34
Strategic Directions
  • Adaptive Information Improving Business Through
    Semantic Interoperability, Grid Computing
    Enterprise Integration, Jeffrey Pollack and Ralph
    Hodgson, John Wiley Sons, Fall 2004
    (continued)
  • Frictionless information flows are the inevitable
    future of information technology.
  • Models, independent of platform and data, will
    drive semantic interoperability.
  • Component-driven service-oriented architectures
    (SOA) will provide flexible and dynamic
    connectivity-once they are fully enabled by
    semantic interoperability.
  • Autonomic computing concepts will drive strategic
    technology development in a number of industries
    and software solution spaces.
  • Intelligence information sharing problems are a
    useful context to examine the strengths of
    flexible, dynamic and loosely-coupled adaptive
    architectures.

35
Strategic Directions
  • Semantics and Alignment on the EA Summit Agenda,
    Rancho Mirage, CA, June 6-8, 2004
  • "The biggest issue facing enterprise architects
    today is aligning the direction of information
    technology with business strategy," observes
    Richard Murphy, chief architect of Blueprint
    Technologies.
  • Semantic technology is social networking for
    applications," explains Ralph Hodgson, executive
    partner with the TopQuadrant consulting firm. "It
    can allow the system to connect one activity to
    another automatically."

36
Strategic Directions
  • Some recommendations
  • Involve taxonomy (ontology) expertise in
    improving the FEA classification scheme
    (taxonomy) and its extension into the agencies.
    (This should also help the Line of Business Task
    Forces work.)
  • Involve knowledge management expertise in
    building a comprehensive knowledge-base
    (repository) of enterprise architecture (OMB
    budget, solutions like Service-Oriented, Web
    Services, etc.)

See GCN, May 20, 2004, Forman calls for new
approach to the Federal Enterprise Architecture.
