  7. The Hockey Rink and “Break Through Performance” Game Analogy:A Level Playing Surface and “Skate to Where the Puck Will Be”* *Wayne Gretzky (considered by most to be the greatest hockey player of all-time).

  8. CIO Council’s FY04 Strategic Plan • Emerging Technology Subcommittee, Architecture & Infrastructure Committee: • The mission is to provide a foresight mechanism that draws from FEA reference models and the capital planning and investment control process to create greater synergy between technology push cycles and market pull cycles in order to support a performance-based framework for innovation prototyping and adoption (bold added). • February 2004, page 9.

  11. Organizational Relationships Industry Advisory Council (IAC) U.S. CIO Council OMB - FEAPMO Enterprise Architecture Special Interest Group Architecture & Infrastructure Committee IT Workforce Connections Best Practices Committee WGs and CoPs Subcommittees: Governance Components Emerging Technologies Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice Chief Architects Forum

  12. Brief History • The AIC chartered three Working Groups (Collaboration Expedition Workshops, XML, and XML Web Services) which were and still are very successful. • The AIC, which started as one integrated activity, reorganized into three Subcommittees and put the three WGs into the Emerging Technology Subcommittee. • The AIC decided it no longer wanted WGs, but by then the WGs had become CoPs and sources of best practices so they continued to support the AIC as well as broader needs. • For example the XML Web Services WG CoP morphed into Semantic Interoperability CoP! • The AIC decided it then wanted to become an integrated activity again like a CoP and formed the CAF CoP and wants to do a joint meeting with the Best Practices Committee in July! • The CIO’s have realized that they can’t do Enterprise Architecture alone, but need the expertise, participation, and resources of a network of CoPs and a re-training of the IT workforce!

  13. Collaboration for a Change Trust and Time Turf Wars Network Coordinate Cooperate Collaborate Exchange Information AND Harmonize Activities AND Share Resources AND Enhance Partner’s Capacity Exchange Information AND Harmonize Activities AND Share Resources Exchange Information AND Harmonize Activities Exchange Information Based on the concepts from A.T. Himmelman “Collaboration for a Change: Definitions, Models, Roles and a Collaboration Process Guide” and a tool developed by Lancaster Community Health Plan.

  27. Strategic Directions • GAO Report-The Federal Enterprise Architecture and Agencies’ Enterprise Architectures Are Still Maturing, May 19, 2004: • The FEA is more akin to a classification scheme (taxonomy) for government operations than a true enterprise architecture. • Since the terms are not well-defined, GAO asks if the expected relationship between the FEA and agencies’ architectures is clear enough for agencies to “map” and “align” their architectures with the FEA (the semantic interoperability problem). • The agencies’ enterprise architectures may not provide sufficient content for driving implementation of systems. • The CIO Council is taking the lead on developing the “security profile”.

  28. Strategic Directions • OMB Enterprise Architecture Assessment V 1.0 Guidelines, May 15, 2004: • Component – A self-contained business process or service with pre-defined functionality that may be exposed through a business or technology interface. • Information Value Chain Model – A set of artifacts within the EA that describes how the enterprise converts its data into useful information. • Patterns – Frequently occurring combinations of business and technical elements that can be used to deliver re-usable business services across the enterprise.

  29. Strategic Directions • OMB Enterprise Architecture Assessment V 1.0 Guidelines, May 15, 2004: • Node Diagram – Diagrams depicting the interdependencies between elements of the architecture. Node diagrams can be used to describe the interaction of business functions with technology components, the relationship of performance objectives to elements of the architecture, and other relationships. • Shared Services – Architectural elements (business processes and/or technology components) that are used by multiple organizations within the enterprise.

  30. Strategic Directions • KM.Gov Discussion of Business Function Models (Denise Bedford, May 26, 2004): • The World Bank’s is a narrow and deep hierarchy: • Level 1 = General Business Area • Level 2 = Business Activity • Level 3 = Business Process • Level 4 = Task • Note: A ‘service taxonomy’ is an inherent part of a business taxonomy and emerges at Level 3 and below. If you can keep business function and organizational unit as separate attributes, you can then see which organizational units may be offering the same kinds of services and this might help to form communities of practice across organizational units!

  31. Strategic Directions • Enterprise Information Interoperability Workshop, June 28-29, 2004 (by invitation): • After a rousing keynote speaker (Jeffrey Pollack, co-author of Semantic Interoperability - available Fall 2004 from John Wiley & Sons) and plenary session that is designed to stir your thinking, we will divide participants into three teams of approximately 20 each. The groups will select their own leadership and will be given a case study. Each group will have a facilitator and scribe. The teams will produce solutions to a case study that will be briefed the morning of the second day. • We anticipate a productive exchange of ideas that will stimulate new thinking with consideration for emerging technologies. We will publish the consolidated findings for presentation on Executive Day at the Association for Enterprise Integration (AFEI) Enterprise Integration Expo in September 2004.

  32. Strategic Directions • Adaptive Information: Improving Business Through Semantic Interoperability, Grid Computing & Enterprise Integration, Jeffrey Pollack and Ralph Hodgson, John Wiley & Sons, Fall 2004: • Semantic Interoperability Framework: • A highly dynamic, adaptable, loosely-coupled, flexible, real-time, secure, and open infrastructure service to facilitate a more automated information sharing framework among diverse organization environments. • Model-Driven Architecture: • An approach to system development that emphasizes the use of models to separate specification of software application independent from the platform that supports it. The three primary goals of the MDA are portability, interoperability, and reusability.

  33. Strategic Directions • Adaptive Information: Improving Business Through Semantic Interoperability, Grid Computing & Enterprise Integration, Jeffrey Pollack and Ralph Hodgson, John Wiley & Sons, Fall 2004 (continued): • Service Grid: • A distributed system framework base around one or more Grid services instances. Grid services instances are (potentially transient) services that conform to a set of conventions (expressed as WSDL interfaces) for such purposes as lifetime management, discovery of characteristics, notification and so forth. They provide for the controlled management of the distributed and often long-lived state that is commonly required in sophisticated distributed applications.

  34. Strategic Directions • Adaptive Information: Improving Business Through Semantic Interoperability, Grid Computing & Enterprise Integration, Jeffrey Pollack and Ralph Hodgson, John Wiley & Sons, Fall 2004 (continued): • Frictionless information flows are the inevitable future of information technology. • Models, independent of platform and data, will drive semantic interoperability. • Component-driven service-oriented architectures (SOA) will provide flexible and dynamic connectivity-once they are fully enabled by semantic interoperability. • Autonomic computing concepts will drive strategic technology development in a number of industries and software solution spaces. • Intelligence information sharing problems are a useful context to examine the strengths of flexible, dynamic and loosely-coupled adaptive architectures.

  35. Strategic Directions • Semantics and Alignment on the EA Summit Agenda, Rancho Mirage, CA, June 6-8, 2004: • "The biggest issue facing enterprise architects today is aligning the direction of information technology with business strategy," observes Richard Murphy, chief architect of Blueprint Technologies. • “Semantic technology is social networking for applications," explains Ralph Hodgson, executive partner with the TopQuadrant consulting firm. "It can allow the system to connect one activity to another automatically."

  36. Strategic Directions • Some recommendations: • Involve taxonomy (ontology) expertise in improving the FEA classification scheme (taxonomy) and its extension into the agencies. (This should also help the Line of Business Task Forces work.) • Involve knowledge management expertise in building a comprehensive knowledge-base (repository) of enterprise architecture (OMB budget, solutions like Service-Oriented, Web Services, etc.) See: GCN, May 20, 2004, Forman calls for new approach to the Federal Enterprise Architecture.
