Hi Brett,
Yes, of course it must be the same ITIL standard ( ISO 20000 & BS
15000) See http://www.15000.net/
Regarding True Service Oriented Architecture the ITIL standard
that is a comprehensive documentation of best practice for IT
Service Management independent of platform and technology fits BCM/CAM
and PSQA very well.
It is allredy used by hundreds of organisations around the world and
has a lot of acceptance. The whole ITIL philosophy has grown up arround
this guidance. But all this Carl knows a lot better than me, and ITIL
knowledge will be of great importance in systemation of the PSQA and
eFolder work.
ITIL is also easier to understand and explain, but we need BCM/CAM to
implement it !
I feel a lot of OASIS work should take this best practice
specification into consideration to make things more
understandable for business experts.
Brett, you really need to look more into the ITIL standard :-)
Best regards
Hans

Hello Hans,
I just sent Carl an e-mail about ITIL. I have been hearing a lot about it
recently and was wondering if this is the same ITIL as companies such as
French Telecom are utilizing?
Also, if it is: I thought ITIL was a framework specific to the IT industry
so am interested in how it can be linked to the Norwegian seafood industry.
So many questions I know, but I am always anxious to learn :)
Best,
Brett

Hi Carl,
Thanks for the slideshow !
Independent of what happens with the BIA-project your competance in
ITIL's IT Service Management etc will be of great importance in our
comming PSQA work !

Hi,
EPR-forum (www.eprforum.no) has now taken initiative to several
Norwegian and EU-programs and projects with its eFolder and
PSQA-program.
The first application is on the BIA program. ( BIA funds industry-
oriented research )
See: http://www.forskningsradet.no/servlet/Satellite?
c=GenerellArtikkel&cid=1156181577534&pagename=innovasjonsarena%
2FGenerellArtikkel%2FVis_i_dette_menypunkt&site=innovasjonsarena
The project will have the Food value chain for fresh seafood as
application area. ( TOSS = Trade On Seafood Safely ): http://www.
eprforum.no/product.php/Trading-Of-Seafood-Safely-TOSS/17/
Here is the introduction to the application that is of a more
general caracter for the PSQA program that might be some of the
spesification for the OASIS BCM-EPR SC.
Best regards

PS
Nice if some of you could wash our english to have it more
professional ?
May be OASIS eGov is more mature discussing Superportals and PSQA
framework ?
Project title:
Public Supervision & Quality Assurance Framework:
A True Service Oriented Architecture (TSOA) with a LEGO approach to
software engineering.
Short name:
PSQA Framework: eFolder Engine & eFolder Tool
Project objective and sub-goals:
A) PSQA based SUPERPORTALS will achieve great savings in the society
costs and quality assurance of services regarding better REALTIME
interaction between CITIZENS, INDUSTRIES and PUBLIC AUTHORITIES.
PSQA represent open and common information exchange "traffic rules"
in how to integrate and reuse software logic and data among
underlying legacy and expert systems through a coordinating and
service oriented PSQA hybrid super portal. All based on open SOA
standards from OASIS and UN/CEFACT.
B) PSQA super portals will not only be related to the Government
interactions of services and reporting but also represent increases
in the overall efficiency in any given organization by regulating
the information access through a super portal and its agile
generated processable templates based on an user/role based
architecture.
These overall layers plays an important part in detaching the ICT
environment from each other to front a common information access to
solve the information jungle problems of today's architectures
Project summary:
It is essential to emphasize that a true Service Oriented
Architecture is here defined, is not dictated by the available
technology per se. SOA is an organizational led approach to create
software that encourages the use of technology to model and automate
the high level services that an organisation delivers to its
customers and suppliers. That is, the focus is not on the technology
that enables SOA but on SOA itself in this project and its
interaction with the underlying systems and above all with the users
and end users.
PSQA is merely a way of organizing this process of interaction based
upon minimum standards and a methodology as to avoid lock in
effects. This agile approach in designing software necessitates and
rests upon interaction with its present and potential users and is
thus by definition highly dependent upon actively involving the users.
Given the overall importance of seafood for Norway we have chosen
seafood as our point of departure.
However the approach and results will be applicable to a wide range
of public and private sectors where the need for further integration
and interoperability is warranted. Thus the ICT project will have to
be developed in close interaction with users through consultations,
surveys and mapping of existing solutions high level services
WebServices exposure to the PSQA portal.
Subgoal A
To Define and implement an open general Template GENERATOR& PROCESSOR (
eFolder Engine) and make an eFolder Tool defining Template classes
being available and handled by EPR-forum www.eprforum.no . Some
basic template classes will be made according to the OASIS BCM TC
specification and a template processor with specification from OASIS
CAM TC especially adapted to PDA units. The user/role attached
dynamic templates will be processed through the portal by an eFolder
engine. Consisting of an eFolder template generator producing
dynamical templates (based upon existing templates, onthologies and
standards) and an eFolder template processor executing the former.
Both templates and eFolders can be suited and defined to its purpose
and reused for other purposes and routines in a flexible yet robust
way thus providing value to the user and adding value to the
services under the PSQA portal.
R&D - challenges
To handle whole value chains common modern super portals needs
template processing to interact with underlying information systems
(legacy and expert systems). It will be needed dynamic control and
integration by help of common and open "traffic" rules and regimes
based on eFolder standardized template models.
OASIS has through its specification standards "Business Centric
Methodology" (OASIS BCM TC) and "Content Assembly Management" (OASIS
CAM TC) defined template specification models and template
processing organizing and orchestrating loosely coupled applications
(Web Services, ebXML etc).
Regarding eBusiness applications and product/service trace ability,
nomenclatures and identification with standards from UNCEFACT and
GS1 (UNSPSC)
will be of great importance.
In the TOSS pilot project it will be specified and developed a
template processor in open source (PHP) based on the fore mentioned
standards and specifications. The jCAM processor and its execution
in real business cases will be evaluated, tested and adapted to our
solution.
The TOSS project will be coordinated with the work in OASIS BCM-EPR
SC and through the PSQA-alliance in EPR-forum. The TOSS project work
and related TOSS demos will be tried implemented as part of the
OASIS test bed
in cooperation with OASIS and UNCEFACT,(FAO CFP) European ICT
standards (COPRA )
