Hi All,
Thanks to those (Chris, Geoff, Hans, Gershon, Colin) who were able to dial into a call this afternoon (UK time)
at short notice to discuss the TGF TC
and where it could go next. Joe also tried
to dial in but the technology conspired against him.
Peter had planned a formal TGF TC call for this time but was unable to fully set it up due to illness.
Peter,
We wish you a speedy recovery and would appreciate it if you could set up another (formal) meeting at a mutually convenient time.
The first item on that agenda should be the election of a new chair (I am still willing to take on the role).
We then discussed areas that we think are worthy of continued or new focus for the group. I suggest that the rest of the meeting could briefly review these, identify priority areas for any action and the means for addressing them.
Areas for review:-
- Statements of Use for TGF v2
- Chris’s work as convenor of SO/TC 268/WG 4 “Strategies for smart cities and communities”. This has started work on BSI PAS 181 and hopefully, that will become an ISO standard within the year and might need to include additional TGF material (e.g. on Benefits
Realisation)
- PAS 182 and its progress towards becoming an ISO standard (initiated by BSI going via another ISO route)
- The Fujitsu Japan work on ISO/PWI 37153 “Smart Community Infrastructure - Maturity model for performance and integration” (this is being managed under the auspices of SO/TC 268/WG 1 “Management System Standards”
- Geoff’s work as convenor of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 40 “IT Service Management and IT Governance”. This is producing a report on the mapping of ISO/IEC
- 38500 “IT Governance Standard” and the TGF. A report should be delivered in mid-April but a more detailed deliverable currently appears unlikely. For more information or to provide any suggestions on the topic, please contact Geoff directly at geoc@microsoft.com
- The work that Hans is undertaking for Sweden and Norway ensuring that citizen-centricity is adequately addressed by using the TGF to promote a service-led approach rather than a technology/protocol-based one. He is also using Document Oriented (NoSQL) databases.
- The potential for use of the TGF Pattern Language for other standards
- Application of TGF to the private sector. As well as direct use by that sector, many government projects involve private partners who will need to adopt new behaviours.
- Guidance around data. There are a number of initiatives in this area that are likely to have a broad impact e.g. the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Sharing Consultation (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/better-use-of-data-in-government
), UK National Information Infrastructure, the problematic UK care.data project (that introduces trust issues), Big Data, data registers and Safe Harbour replacement.
If we can agree a programme of work, It may be worth approaching Chris’s contact that was involved in providing us with a statement of use from the government of South Australia to invite her participation in the TC.
I believe the above captures all the notes I made and I apologise if I have omitted or misrepresented anything. Please do point out the errors of my ways and feel free to add other thoughts and items for consideration into the debate
by responding to everyone on this email thread.
