UCM meeting notes 4/10/08 Mexico City • Meeting Notes (S. Hinkelman) • Agenda • Categorize available use cases • Review inventory of current contributions (for new and existing members) • Review submitted use cases for understanding and questions • Discussion on extension of use case time submission deadline • Summary / Next steps
In Attendance • David Connelly, OAGi • Nikola Stojknovic, RosettaNet • Ed Buchinski, Transport Canada, TBG14 • Niki Sahling, Paradigma , TBG14 • Scott Hinkelman, Oracle • Gait Boxman, TIE • Martin Forsberg, SFTI • Jim Wilson, CIDX • Ian Watt, AEC, TBG14 • Chuck Allen, HR-XML • Mark Crawford, SAP • Michael Rowell, Oracle
Current Inventory • Review current inventory (for new members and by request) via the Wiki • Completed requirements document • First draft based on 1 (first) submission • 2 current submissions • Tony Coates • SAP (Gunther S.) • Various other work products, mostly all related to the 2 current submissions
Available use case categorization • Mark Crawford delivered a set of use cases he collected – thank you • Note: These notes do not substitute in any way for the actual submitted use cases (go read the use cases) • Team built a spread sheet identifying the currently available use cases • Team decided to give priority to use cases where we know the primary contact • A side discussion took place resulting in agreement that we are not assuming the currently defined context drivers in CCTS 2.X are complete. • Note: use case numbering in current spread sheet may change
Use Case Review Notes…. • OAGI (David C. in discussion) – Context Mechanism Scope • Users are sub-setting/profiling with various tools. • UCM spec should specify the criteria for sub-setting/adding to the approach. • No definitive best practices to tie the rationale of sub-setting to the actual unit of message exchange • The group has a good understanding of this use case • Examples and some more detail is requested
Use Case Review Notes…. • OAGI (David C. in discussion) – Levels of Context are Needed • David will provide more information on the content stack • Need a holistic view of context not just components • Context mechanism needs to take into unit of data exchange and top down. • David will document the steps users take
Use Case Review Notes…. • OAGI (David C. in discussion) – Message Granularity for Business Use • B2MML adopted the OAGI message assembly. Mapping was attempted but not possible due to the underlying data model being very different. • The group concluded that UCM may not be able to solve all data model usage contexts
Use Case Review Notes…. • HR-XML (Chuck A. in discussion) – Official Jurisdiction • Absence/presence of an element • Which code list is appropriate • Groups of entities which always are appropriate together • Official constraints by jurisdiction - matrix across race, geography • Matrix across “trust’ (trusted sources) • end system/application, role • sensitive information (information kind) -in Germany they collect religion info unlike in the US • Skill taxonomy / applicable constraints within business process step • Chuck will split this use case into two
Use Case Review Notes…. • TBG1/2/6 (Martin F. in discussion) - UMM • This use case seems to indicate that context needs to operate at an instance of a model layer, not a model layer. • Cardinality is within context • Type of an element is within context • The group found this use case very interesting and requested more detail example
Use Case Review Notes…. • TBG14 (Niki S. in discussion) - UMM • Presented an initial picture of UMM structure, ABIE, and where context needs to apply • This will eventually be a use case submission from TBG14 • ABIE (linked to UMM business information) is in context of the UMM transaction • Desire to have the UMM business process be in context of geo, company, industry
Summary / Schedule / Next Steps • Summary • Took inventory of current UCM content (for new users and by request), 6 cases reviewed with active submitter participation • Schedule • Agreed to extend call for use cases until end of May • Next Steps • Identify primary contacts on submissions • Move all work product to the Wiki • Establish use case review as the primary agenda item on the weekly UCM call (Thursday 9:00US Central / 16:00 Central Europe) • Invite submitters as needed [ Several members expressed comment of this being a very productive UCM meeting. Thanks to all involved ! ]
