Subject: RE: [bcm] Brochure Draft; An opporunity to put into practice the BCM process
John,
To add to what David is suggesting ...
I am also in favor of accelerating the process of
putting BCM concepts into practice and using existing practice to inform BCM
methods. It also seems to be to be a good idea to have a more active
connection between BCM and your SAIL program if that is what you are
proposing. There seems to be a $60,000 barrier to entry in terms of such
participation, however. It is also important that BCM remain agnostic
with regard to vendor preferences. What would you suggest as the best
way to link the efforts?
With
respect to the OMB reference models, my intuition is that BCM is like the PRM
(Performance Reference Model) in that it touches the other reference models,
particularly the Business Reference Model, Data Reference Model, and Service
Component Reference Model. It informs all of these models from a community
of interest perspective.
There
is more than enough challenge, work and risk in these efforts to go
around. So I am all in favor of learning from others' experience and
sharing the burden.
Neil

OASIS is very clear on this all.
If you feel you have implementations that conform
to an OASIS specification
then you can notify that technical committee about
the conforming implementation.
So far we have one that we've been made aware
of - the eprXML work from Norway -
and we are working with that team to develop BCM templates from that that will
be publically available.
If you have indeed taken the OASIS specification
and applied to it your project(s)
then I'm sure we'd welcome the feedback on what
worked, and where the gap
analysis is.
And we'd be especially interested in showcasing the
resulting BCM templates
and other artifacts from the project(s) that
illustrate the work done.
We are also beginning to work with other groups
that have expressed interest - one
I can mention is CUNY in New York and their Center
for XML - where they are
actively looking at BCM activities that may fit
their program there.
The other of course is the OASIS eGov TC - and
jointly developing examples
of BCM templates for specific government
domains.
So it seems to me that one path forward would be to
take whatever products
SAIL has done - and cast those into BCM templates -
as Word and Excel
documents for instance - that we can then review
and verify that in fact
they are applying BCM principles and
techniques.
This then has the benefit of providing back into
those projects BCM artifacts
that conform to an open public standard accredited
by OASIS.
With the eprXML project we started by reviewing PPT
materials and specification
and project overview materials that showed how BCM
principles are being actively
integrated into the development of the
project.
Perhaps you can share with us similar overview
materials?
Thanks, DW.
