Subject: Re: [bcm] Close BCM TC? (BCM is needed NOW more than ever!)



Hi David,
That sounds great. Then I can use my spare time to convince the Norwegian Authoreties about our  work in Norwegian, and we can translate it for the BCM TC together in September.
 
As you know SOA Front Office AS helps me out in earning money on environmental control systems (integrating sensors, video, sound etc). We are now installing systems in Restaurants, Hotels, Sun-studio etc. in Norway, Romania and Germany.
 
We are also able to proceed the interoperabilty work for the abstraction layer of CEBus by ANSI regarding the Generic CAL device modelling standard (CEA-721) according to my corespondance with dr Ken Wacks at MITand ANSI .
( You have got info about the enormous standardisation work done by: Johnson Control, Honeywell, ABB, GE, Intel, Microsoft, Panasonic, Utility companies etc etc. Unfortunately Microsoft fucked it up making a CEBus derivate called SCP (Simple Control Protocol) as part of Universal Plug & Play and the working group was finally closed down in 2001. Never the less the functional device modells is described in the ANSI CEA-721standard.
 
In the eFolder system this is handled by the steering card: CONTENT-CARD. Deviations will then activate response and work descriptions. ( The other steering cards) etc
 
This is nicely working with the real time modeling we need for template processing etc

Hans,

Technically all we need to do to continue working is produce a rough draft of the next piece of the specification - regarding templates - as planned but not executed.

I think you have given us enough below to build a strawman draft from.  I have a lot of other writing I need to do this month for NIST, OASIS, project proposals and more - so it will probably be early September before I can post a start for us to work from.

If someone else wants to jump in and create that first strawman before then - please feel free!  So long as we have a start point - we can massage from there.

Essentially I am seeing the specification needs to provide the XML mechanisms to support eFolders and business process form exchanges management (there's a big gap between BPEL, BPML, ebBP workflow and what is actually needed for what BPML calls "above the line - aka human workflow" that eFolders address).

This is the missing next piece of BCM - the XML to deliver on the original vision.

Thanks, DW

 Hi,
As David is saying "Sometimes OASIS work has to go where the "big guys" fear to tread".
 
The Norwegian Authoreties has now introdused the Norwegian Health Care and Interoperability
reform plan  released 19. June 2009:
This is adressing the enormous challenges in interoperability and promote the structure of a needed Hybrid thinking as we are working with in BCM and EPR.
The elderly wave Sunami is soon a big problem and we have now introduced an  interactive discussion forum through EPRforum with attached bloggs that will be announced this week.
On the Topic site "Technology and Stanndards"  we are adressing two important interoperability areas:
 
1. The Super structure eFolder Engine ( ITIL and OASIS BCM/CAM standards )
2. The Environmental control bus-process server ( ANSI and CEA-721 standard)
 
See:
 
Unfortunately we are still working without funding, but both NAV SIKTE and BI is supporting us.
 
As you also know we are working with several related projects for getting funding, but in the meanwhile we are trying to explain the needed Governmental eFolder controlled superstructure.
 
Carl, what do we need to convice OASIS about proceeding?
Will it be enough to put the project management of the  "opportunities in the care services of elderly people" to OASIS BCM/EPR SC ?
 
Could we try to connect some projects with the Obama's Health reform ?
 
Should we translate som of the NAV and BI comitments ?


PS: Unfortinately the links mostly refer to Norwegian texts, but at least
some figures and content should be familiar

Gentleman:
Are you able to contribute more of your EPR insights to create a formal BCM specification
thanks
Carl

Carl,

Sometimes OASIS work has to go where the "big guys" fear to tread.

The EPR work offers templates for work processes and task cards with an open public standard.

How relevant is this?

Check - iPhone, Android, Sharepoint / InfoPath, Ruby forms, ERP from SAP and Oracle, Facebook - all wonderful people enablers - except - none of them can talk to each other.

Since OASIS now appears to want to see specification production happening every 6 months within a TC - I think we start moving out on this.

Yes - its a big task needing real funding to complete the core XML tasks - but there is much we can do besides - while we sort out that funding.

Suggest we do the "top part" of the specification - Executive Summary, Introduction and initial ToC.  That will keep us "legal" with OASIS - and then six months from now - we can see what resources we have to do the next piece.  You never know - maybe Google Foundation of similar will fund us then and provide some fulltime resources?!?

Rome was not built in a day.

Thanks, DW

Folks:
We have to decide if the EPR work and the lessons learned from the 70+ effort can be used to create additional  BCM  guidelines.

Please reply by email by August 17th if you are able to contribute to a new work effort
thanks

Section 2.15 of the TC Process:
The TC Administrator may close a TC that fails to conduct at least one Quorate Meeting or conduct any Specification Ballots during any six month period; whose membership falls below the Minimum Membership; which has not completed its deliverables within the schedule listed in its Charter; or which has failed to show progress towards achieving its purpose as defined by its Charter.

The most recent meeting minutes seem to be from 2008; there are no calendar entries for 2009, and the only deliverable noted in the Charter is the original BCM specification which was approved in 2006.

Is there further work to be done by the TC on the BCM specification or additional specifications to be created?  Or should we declare victory and close?

Regards,

Mary
