Subject: Re: [bcm] Brochure Draft; An opportunity to put into practice the BCM process
John, That's at odds with the BCM template approach. What BCM is doing is defining the content of the templates in alignment with the business approach. So an example is the GPRA MS Word template. It captures the business steps in alignment with the BCM layers and method that are in the specification (strawman of this Word doc attached). Now once that is done - it is then possible to render the content in the template as XML (see Microsoft announce on opening of XML format) so that software can then be driven off that information. Another example is the eprXML - where the business rules that control the folders and the cards can be specified in an Excel spreadsheet, and then again - rendered into an XML format to drive the actual software solution (using Excel export to XML tools). This is a critical aspect of BCM - because in achieving this you remove the chasm between the implementation layer and the business layer. We still have much work to do on realizing all this - but we are making encouraging steps and I'm confident we will have sample XML renderings available in the coming months. (The sample of BPSS linkage a post earlier this week relates). Of course a funded project to develop these for a specific application would be appropriate to accelerate this.
