RE: [soa-rm] Fwd: Users of SOA Refrence Model or Architecture?

["Smith, Martin" <Martin.Smith@DHS.GOV>]

Ken -- The GLOBAL Justice Information Sharing Initiative (GLOBAL) has three related technology projects that together are setting standards and providing implementation guidance for cross-organizational information sharing standards in the national justice and public-safety community (that is State and city police departments, courts, emergency management orgs, etc.)  The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security are actively supporting these efforts.
 
They are:
 
National Information Exchange Model (originally sponsored by GLOBAL as GJXDM and then gone broader in the Federal community in partnership with DHS and other agencies.) This is a metadata framework that has produced a large number of "IEPDs" -- XML documents defining standard data exchanges with a specific line of business (e.g., an arrest report.) (NIEM is an alternative to the EBXML framework.)
 
The GLOBAL Federated Identity and Privilege Management (GFIPM) project, which is a "trust framework" based on SAML/SHIB standards, with an emphasis on the authorization part of access control and federation; it uses the NIEM framework to define data elements in SAML exchanges (which implements complex types for attributes.) 
 
The Justice Reference Architecture (JRA), which is pretty strictly modeled on SOA-RM and -RA, but profiled for Web-services exchanges (of NIEM IEPDs) in the State & local justice environment. 
 
I think you might be familar with these efforts (or at least JRA) since I believe there is some overlap in membership between the JRA project and the OASIS SOA-RM TC.

Hi Ken,

DoJ Reference Architecture based on RM.

I suspect they will update based on the RA, but don't know that for
ssure without contacting the folks there. That's not currently on my
to-do list, but I could add that. The main task I was on is going to
its 60-Day Public Review, so I have a breather for a couple of weeks.

I will be using the parts of the RA that interest me most for work in
the Emergency Management TC including:
Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL)  Reference Information Model
(EDXL-RIM) specifications, which are abstracted from components of
existing EDXL specifications to be guidance blueprints for revisions
and future new specifications and which will include ontological
representations:
EDXL Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) including next revision 1.1;
EDXL Hospital AVailability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE) next revisions,
including errata;
EDXL Resource Messaging (EDXL-RM)  next revisions, including errata;

EDXL-RIM will then be a set of blueprints for the various features of
the family of specifications, both for revisions to the existing
members above and the next members of the family:
EDXL-Situation Reporting (EDXL-SR) (due for submission end of March)
EDXL-Patient Tracking (EDXL-PT) (not anticipated till mid-09).

We will eventually take on the next full version of the Common
Alerting Protocol (CAP) 2.0 which include some accommodation to EDXL,
particularly EDXL-DE.

If I was working in the various Web Services TCs, I would recommend
that they schedule work on revisions that would bring them into clear
alignment with the RM and RA. But that's just me.

Cheers,
Rex
