RE: [soa-rm] RM-TC--RA-SC---New SC

["David E. Ellis" <dellis@sandia.gov>]

Hi Everyone

I agree with Rex.  In fact; I strongly feel we need to have an parallel
effort which takes the RAF principles and tries to explain the behavior of
concepts like willingness and "counts as".  I am working in the OASIS EM TC
which needs this. Also, The DoDAF meta model efforts need this level of
modeling to help with version 2.01 and it would help in the UPDM effort.  I
have yet to get time to explain UML needs to Jim Odell and Conrad Bock.

Subject: [soa-rm] RM-TC--RA-SC---New SC

Hi Everyone,

I've been thinking about the structure the SOA RM, SOA RA SC and a 
possible new SC, yet to be named.

I've changed my mind about recombining the RM and RAF efforts. This is 
at least partially due to some conversations with Dave Ellis, and 
previous conversations with Ken Laskey, as well as my own efforts in the 
Net-Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC).

The RAF work still needs to be conducted at nearly the same rate (e.g. 
weekly meetings), though there may be some weeks in the near future when 
we can all spend a little more time on other things. However, once we 
get into addressing comments, refactoring conformance clauses into the 
Architectural Implications sections, and refining the Management part of 
the Management and Governance Section, we will need to go back to weekly 
sessions.

However, in the meantime, I would like to start work on a more concrete 
reference architecture, nearly a solution architecture short of 
specifying a platform, operating system and specific middleware, based 
on the single model of the Reference Architecture Foundation I've been 
building, with appropriate updating, of course. I propose this as a 
Subcommittee effort similar to the RAF, and I would like the 
domain-specific part of it to be the emergency management domain which 
Dave and I are engaged in through the EM TC. The new SC could/might 
build a Net-Enabled Emergency Response Architecture, at least partially 
harmonized with DODAF 2.0.

I would also propose that the SOA RM TC meet monthly at least and keep 
the two SCs updated. The RM itself might benefit from an update, too, at 
some point.

Cheers,
Rex
