Subject: RE: [icom] Article
Hello Patrick, The article is to be posted on java.net to accompany a new project for ICOM JPA framework. The audience is developers who will extend the source code for ICOM JPA framework. Considering the amount of time and resource a developer has to put into understanding the source code design and data model, the amount of technical detail in this article is minimal. We may also publish a concise version to give the gist of the project and refer the readers to the longer version. Thanks, Eric -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Durusau [mailto:patrick@durusau.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 5:29 AM To: icom Subject: [icom] Article Eric, I have what may seem like a silly question but here goes: Who is the intended audience for the article? I ask because the long stretch of UML diagrams makes me suspect it isn't managers or users. Starting with figure 2 where *the usage of each of the properties* is explained. Even if the purpose of the article is to interest even information architects or programmers in the JPA/ICOM framework, it doesn't have to explain every property or its usage. Sure, a reference manual or standard has to do that, but not an article meant to interest others in its use. A more compelling case could be made with fewer diagrams. For example, surely there are use cases that Oracle is already working on using ICOM. Where integration has resulted in a benefit to the organization. Why not start with a very high level view of that problem and walk through a very simplified version of ICOM? For example, Entity represents XXX and just mentioned that all entities have access controls (for details see the ICOM standard), etc. I would suggest also block diagramming, at a fairly high level, what JPA brings to ICOM. Hope you are having a great day!
