Subject: Comments on the
Public Review for TGF Core Pattern Language and TGF Primer
Thank you for the very
interesting work the TGF TC has made available.
We have
reviewed the two documents and have the following comments:
1. There are two
references on the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) in the TGF Premier:
a.
p.7: EIF is mentioned in
a more general context of international interoperability efforts
b.
p.45: The five EIF
interoperability layers provide one dimension in the matrix table called "Policy
Product Map".
In both cases, EIF is
discussed in the right context and contributes to the definition of the Policy
Product Map.
2. In the area of
identity management, we would like to draw your attention to the STORK project
which deals with cross-border authentication and aims at enabling an eID
provided by one EU member state to be used in another country. At the moment,
the project is at pilot stage. There could be relevance of this work with the
OASIS citizen-centric Identity Model. One pilot project of STORK is ECAS-STORK
integration. ECAS is the authentication system of the European Commission. ECAS
allows officials to access many Commission applications with a single sign-in.
The ECAS-STORK integration allows them to authenticate themselves with their
home country eID. This project is still in the preliminary
phases.
3. We have difficulties
to understand the title of the "TGF Core Pattern Language" document. The
document does not introduce a core pattern language as the title implies. It
rather uses a pattern (as a description template) to document in a
semi-structured way the most important infromation of the TGF Premier. At
least this is what we
have understood after reading the document. We suggest a) to take this into
consideration and review the title accordingly, b) to present the pattern using
a data representation formalism (e.g. UML object model).
