Re: [soa-rm-ra] UML model for Governance

Hi Don,

In the activity diagrams:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/soa-rm-ra/download.php/25093/Activity-governance-responsibility.png

If corporate management is distinguished from IT
management, would that then lead down the path of
specifying program management, contracts management,
etc.?

The following governance diagram depicts management in
an abstract sense:

I believe your diagrams could be used to describe a
specific example of the Governance Model.

To All,

The first paragraph of the governance section sites
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development definition for Governance.

"The Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development in the "OECD Principles of Corporate
Governace"[1] defined Corporate Governance as
providing the structure for determining organizational
objectives and monitoring performance to ensure that
objectives are attained.  The OECD was careful to note
that there is no one single model for good corporate
governance and as such, different organizations may
have different perspectives on what constitutes good
governance."

To me, this statement pertains to enterprise
governance but does not address ecosystem governance. 
For example, many organizations instituting SOAs will
be under governmental regulations to log certain types
of information.
Since the governance model has been moved to the
beginning of the Governance section, I suggest we
strike the OECD reference and make a statement that is
inline with the Governance model.
