  2. Table of Content • What is a reference model? (10%) • Two reference model samples • OASIS SOA (10%) • OSI reference model (3%) • FEA reference model consisting of : • Performance RM (16%) • Business RM (13%) • Service RM (10%) • Technical RM (10%) • Data RM (10% ) • Relating FEA reference models to each other (10%) Reference Models

  3. What is a reference model? • A reference model is an abstractframework for understanding significant relationships among the entities of some environment. • Reference model consists of a minimal set of unifying concepts, principals and relationships within a particular problem domain, and is independent of specific standards, technologies, implementations, or other concrete details. Reference Models

  4. An abstraction hierarchy Alignment to specific requirements Concrete (actual) Architecture Reference Architecture Reference Model Conceptualization Reference Models

  5. An example on this abstraction hierarchy : providing housing • Reference Model • Concepts : eating area, hygiene area, sleeping area • Relationships: physical separation between eating area and hygiene area • Reference Architecture • Bedroom , kitchen , WC , hallway • There may be several reference architectures for one reference models e.g. reference architecture for an apartment , hotel rooms , a space station , … • Concrete (actual) Architecture • Blueprints for a specific house: where to put windows , their size, … Reference Models

  6. OASIS SOA : a reference model for SOA architectures • Goal : to define the essence of service oriented architecture, and emerge with a vocabulary and a common understanding of SOA. • A basic definition of SOA : • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains. Reference Models

  7. OASIS SOA Reference Model Main Concepts Reference Models

  8. OASIS SOA Reference Model Relationships Reference Models

  9. OSI Reference Model • a layered abstract description for communications and computer network protocol design. Reference Models

  10. FEA reference models • The Federal Enterprise Architecture is an initiative of the Office of Management and Budget that aims to comply with the Clinger-Cohen Act and provide a common methodology for information technology (IT) acquisition in the United States federal government. • Goals: • ease sharing of information and resources across federal agencies • reduce costs • improve citizen services Reference Models

  11. Performance reference Model • a standardized framework to measure the performance of major IT investments and their contribution to program performance • Goals: • improve strategic and daily decision-making • Improve the alignment of inputs to outputs and outcomes • Identify performance improvement opportunities Reference Models

  12. PRM (cont ‘d) • Six Measurement Areas Reference Models

  13. PRM (cont ‘d) • Measurement Areas • Measurement Categories: • Collections within each measurement area describing the attribute or characteristic to be measured • Measurement Groupings: • Further refinement of categories into specific types of measurement indicators • Measurement Indicators: • The specific measures, e.g., number and/or percentage of customers satisfied Reference Models

  14. PRM (cont ‘d) • Mission and Business Results MA • Identifies the extent to which those purposes are being achieved. • Customer Results MA • captures how well an agency or specific process within an agency is serving its customers—and ultimately citizens. • Processes and Activities MA • captures key aspects of processes or activities required to be monitored and/or improved. • Technology MA • captures key elements of performance directly relating to the IT initiative • Human Capital MA : under construction! • Other Fixed Assets MA : under construction! Reference Models

  15. PRM (cont ‘d) – A piece of PRM table Reference Models

  16. Business Reference Model • Hierarchical construct • Describing day-to-day business operations of the Federal government • function-driven • independent of the agencies that perform them Reference Models

  17. BRM (cont ‘d) Reference Models

  18. BRM (cont ‘d) • Services for citizens: • high-level categories relating to the purpose of government • Mode of Delivery • the mechanisms the government uses to achieve its purpose • Support Delivery of Services • The support functions necessary to conduct government operations • Management of Government Resources • the resource management functions that support all areas of the government’s business Reference Models

  19. BRM (cont ‘d) – sample piece of the hierarchy Reference Models

  20. Service Reference Model • a business and performance-driven, functional framework that classifies Service Components with respect to how they support business and/or performance objectives. • The model aids in recommending service capabilities to support the reuse of business components and services across the federal government. Reference Models

  21. SRM (cont ‘d) • Service Domain • provide a high-level view of the services and capabilities that support enterprise and organizational processes and applications • differentiated by their business-oriented capability • Service Type • further categorize and define the capabilities of each Domain • Component • provide the “building blocks’ to deliver the Component capability to the business • a self contained business process or service with predetermined functionality that may be exposed through a business or technology interface. Reference Models

  22. SRM (cont ‘d) • Customer Preferences Grouping shown below as an example Reference Models

  23. Technical Reference Model • a component-driven, technical framework • used to categorize the standards, specifications, and technologies that support and enable the delivery of service components and capabilities. Reference Models

  24. TRM (cont ‘d) Reference Models

  25. DRM • intended to promote the common identification, use, and appropriate sharing of data/information across the federal government through its standardization of data in the following three areas: • Data Context : define a standard approach for agencies to categorize their data , enable the business context of data to be well understood • Subject Area • Super Type • Data Sharing : define a standard message structure known as Information Exchange Package • Data description : define a standard approach to describing an agency ‘s data • Data Object • Data Property • Data Representation Reference Models

  26. An example An organization within the federal government provides services which contribute to the health of citizens  • Business Area = Services for Citizens • LoB (Line of Business) = Health • Subject Area = Health • Super Type = immunization • Data Object = vaccine • Data Property = type , weight , etc • Data Representation = plain text Reference Models

  27. How DRM is used to enable collaboration • Organization A uses the DRM to categorize its data (using the BRM) into a business context. • Organization B identifies Organization A’s available data through its business context. • Organization A uses the DRM to publish the detailed structure of the actual data element (in support of the business context). • Organizations A and B determine if, in fact, the data produced by Organization A will meet the needs of Organization B. • Once Organizations A and B determine that the data can be re-used, the information exchange package is used to transmit the data. Reference Models

  28. A reference Model for FEA Reference Model! (relationships between XRMs) • The LoB represents organizations that have a common business or program interest. • Subject Area = LoB from BRM • Super Type = Sub-function of LoB from BRM • In PRM: MA Measurement Area Measurement Grouping LoB LoB LoB Measurement Category sub-function sub-function Reference Models

  29. A reference Model for FEA Reference Model! (relationships between XRMs)(cont) • TRM provides a framework for categorizing those technologies and standards that can be used to exchange and deliver service components (from SRM) • DRM provides for a specific type of SOA in which there is no action , only exchange of information. Considering OASIS SOA : • Information model is expressed using DRM • There exists no behavior model Reference Models
