Subject: RE: [soa-rm] PART 2: PGFSOA - Review & Comment Request - Practical Guide to Federal Service Oriented Architecture
I made a quick pass at the Federal Service Oriented Architecture (FSOA). I did see some overlap between the FSOA and the OASIS SOA RA but not that much. I would characterize the difference between the two as FSOA describing processes and tools to build an engine and the OASIS SOA RA as describing the principles and mechanisms for the inner workings of the engine.

It explicitly cites the SOA-RM definitions of SOA and SOA service. I'm interested now to read more closely and see if it uses these consistently. For those who get through this, let us know what you think. (Dang, why don't we have a usable wiki when one would be useful?)

Subject: RE: PGFSOA - Review & Comment Request Hello, everyone, I am pleased to announce that the Architecture and Infrastructure Committee (AIC) of the Federal CIO Council has initiated the next review cycle for the Practical Guide to Federal Service Oriented Architecture. The AIC has decided to do this via a public wiki: https://osera.gov/web/fcioc/aic/pgfsoa/smw I encourage you all, and your teams, including bureau and program teams that are planning for or pursuing SOA implementations, to: * go to the wiki, * read the document, * review the discussion pages and recent changes, * make attributed changes, and * track the evolution of your input and the document as a whole The goal is to try to have the review process converge by the end of the month, and then go through a more formal approval process in April via the CIO Council. The expectation is that the wiki, if it is adding value to the process, may continue on and look to a next version or add on guidance. I have already made some comments and edits, and I intend to continue to stay engaged. The PGFSOA steering committee (subset of the AIC leadership) and editorial board will be the final arbiter in this process, the members of which are listed in the document. We publicly announced the wiki at the OMG conference this week, here is a link to an article about that: http://www.fcw.com/online/news/151875-1.html Looking forward to seeing how this evolves. Please keep in mind that the decision to use the wiki represents something of a social media experiment for us as a community. Also, thanks to our partners at GSA for hosting the wiki. Thanks in advance for jumping into the wiki. -K ________________________________ ======================================================================= ===== ========== CIO Council starts wiki on architecture guidance By Jason Miller Published on March 10, 2008 The CIO Council's Architecture and Infrastructure Committee (AIC) launched a wiki today asking for feedback from public- and private-sector experts on its draft "Practical Guide to Service-Oriented Architecture." The guide has been through several reviews and this likely is the final one, said Kshemendra Paul, the Office of Management and Budget's chief architect. "We wanted to get past sending a spreadsheet to agencies and then getting back a lot of comments," he said today at the Object Management Group's Government Days conference in Arlington, Va. "This is kind of a social media experiment." The SOA guide's wiki will accept attributed and unattributed comments, but remarks made by experts who use their names will carry more weight, Paul added. The wiki also is using the Open ID standard, which lets users log on to many different Web sites using a single username and password. "We want people to read all the comments and add to the discussion groups," Paul said. "The final decisions will be made by the governance board." This latest review cycle will end in by April 1, but Paul said the wiki, which the General Services Administration is hosting, likely will live on for future reviews. He added that Version 1 of the guidance should be out by late spring. The current draft guidance includes five chapters and is 71 pages long. The rationale, target and implementation chapters are most important, Paul said. The rationale chapter explains why SOA is important, including improving responsiveness, simplifying delivery of services and improving transparency, security and resilience. The target chapter focuses on the three levels of SOA: service-oriented enterprise, service-oriented architecture and service-oriented infrastructure. The enterprise discusses governance and key cultural issues, which tend to be the most challenges aspects of making SOA work well. The SOA portion focuses on modeling and the infrastructure portion looks at how SOA can run in an operational environment. Paul said the keys to implementation are the heart of the document and encouraged users to read it. "There are several generic SOA maturity models that currently exist and the road map section offers one, but agencies can use which ever model they choose," he said. "You have to understand where you are now, where it fits into your governance structure and you need to ensure you have the right granularity to track results of SOA implementation." Paul also said the CIO Council is working on segment architecture guidance. A working group is collecting and analyzing best practices from several agencies, including the Housing and Urban Development, Interior, and Justice departments in addition to the Human Resources Line of Business effort. "We want to make it more straightforward to implement segment architectures," Paul said. "The goal is to increase the value of segment architectures." The guidance will include methodology, training materials and templates for developing segment products. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ken Laskey MITRE Corporation, M/S H305 phone: 703-983-7934 7515 Colshire Drive fax: 703-983-1379 McLean VA 22102-7508 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ken Laskey MITRE Corporation, M/S H305 phone: 703-983-7934 7515 Colshire Drive fax: 703-983-1379 McLean VA 22102-7508
