8 2. SOA CoP Many thanks again for organizing such a fantastic event – so much to learn and follow! Thanks again for coordinating and pulling of a very successful conference. I enjoyed the presentations and stimulating conversations thereafter. Thank you for tackling such a timely topic. This conference really demonstrated that SOA is "good Enterprise Architecture". I really enjoyed participating in the program and the interaction with attendees. I provided five highlights from the excellent SOA Conference that I attended to my managers.

19 Special Recognitions (pre-SOA CoP) Special Recognition for "Break Through" Performance Presented at the ArchitecturePlus Seminar, January 18, 2005, American Institute of Architects, Washington, DC. –Richard Murphy, Enterprise Architect, U.S. General Services Administration, and Sun Certified Enterprise Architect and Founding Member of the Worldwide Institute of Software Architects, for breakthrough performance in "skating to where the puck is going, not where it's been" by supporting multiple communities of practice, bridging enterprise architecture and the Semantic Web in the SICoP White Paper, and leading the development of the FEA Reference Model Ontology, which is expected to become a core component of many applications. As an avid hockey player and fan himself, Rick understands the value of teamwork "in skating to where the puck is going, not where it's been." See

20 Special Recognitions (pre-SOA CoP) Special Recognition for "Break Through" Performance Presented at the Second Quarterly Emerging Technology Components Conference, January 26, 2004, White House Conference Center. –George Thomas, GSA Enterprise Architect, and Member of the Emerging Technology Subcommittee, for "having a conversation with everyone" about an open standards orientation to Enterprise Architecture as a community of practice and solution for business-driven Enterprise Architecture leading to the "Executable FEA". This design-time MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) and runtime SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) toolset provides an EA repository in support of GSA's vision of "One GSA EA". See

21 3. SOA CoP SOA Maturity Model Dick Burk, OMB Chief Architect and Manager, Federal Enterprise Architecture Program recently spoke about: –The Federal Transition Framework (FTF). –Beyond the Reference Models. –Solving Business Problems Using Enterprise Architecture: Recommended Reading – Enterprise Architecture as Strategy by Jeanne Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson, Harvard Business School Press, 2006, 234 pp. (see next slide)

22 3. SOA CoP SOA Maturity Model “When it comes to successful execution of your strategy, your operating model may matter far more than your strategy itself.” Research shows that organizations follow a consistent pattern the authors call the “Four Stages of Architecture Maturity”: –Business Silos –Standardize Technology –Optimized Core –Business Modularity The Fifth Stage of Architecture Maturity: –Dynamic Venturing (partnering) Source: Enterprise Architecture as Strategy by Jeanne Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson, Harvard Business School Press, 2006, 234 pp.

23 3. SOA CoP SOA Maturity Model The FEA focuses on the OMB budget process and project management while SOA is the actual modeling of complex IT and governance environments like GSA is doing for the Financial Management Line of Business (LoB). Both are needed and can be complimentary and the SOA CoP is about “dynamic partnering” in support of the Lines of Business (LoB), the new Federal Transition Framework (FTF), and the new Data Reference Model 2.0 Management Strategy (see next slide).

24 3. SOA CoP SOA Maturity Model This metamodel for DRM 2.0 could… This “publish catalog” could lead to… the “publish”, “find”, & “bind” of a SOA. become services layers in a SOA.

25 3. SOA CoP SOA Maturity Model Shared Services-to-Web Services-to-Semantic Services: –Shared: White Paper: Shared Services*, Suparno Banerjee, EDS Global Government, Exhibit at the 2 nd SOA for E-Government Conference. Best Agency SOA Application: Bob Brown (US PTO) –Web Services: SOA Lessons Learned - The Government Speaks: Dan Malks, CTO, JackBe, for DISA Best Organization SOA Application: Alan Harbitter (Nortel Government) and David Webber (AC Technologies) –Semantic Services: SOA and Semantics, Dave McComb (Semantic Arts) Outstanding Contributions to the SICoP and the SOA CoP: Arun Majumdar (Cutter Consortium/VivioMind Intelligence) –All Three Together: SOA for Information Sharing, Greg Lomow (Bearing Point) (See Next Slide) *

27 4. SOA Metamodel and Ontology 2nd SOA for E-Government Conference: –Four Tracks: 1. Real World SOA Experiences/Lessons Learned 2. SOA for Information Sharing 3. SOA and BPM, MDA, etc. 4. SOA and Metadata (Semantics) –Two Tutorials: 1. Migration of Legacy Components to an SOA 2. Approaches for Modeling SOAs within Existing Architecture Tools and Reference Models –Four Breakout Session Tracks: 1. Vendor Perceptions and Implementations 2. Governance 3. Transition to SOA in the Government 4. What are the Benefits?

28 4. SOA Metamodel and Ontology Ontology: –Of SOA – Chris Harding at the OMG SOA Information Day. –For SOA – Arun Majumdar at 5 th Semantic Interoperability for E- Government Conference & the 2 nd SOA for E-Government Conference. Pilots (build domain ontologies): –Agile Financial Data Services (AFDS CoP), December 6, 2006, 14 th International XBRL Conference. –National Health Information Network (NHIN), November 9, 2006, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT. –National Information Exchange Model (NIEM): November 16, 2006, Seminar on Data Architecture. –Person, October 11, Birds of a Feather on National Information Sharing Standards in Connection with the 5 th Semantic Interoperability for E-Government Conference.

29 4. SOA Metamodel and Ontology Imagine that the Nodes, Subnodes, etc. could be for organization, Threat Category, Persons of Interest, Intelligence Analysis, etc. NIEM Roadmap Pilot

30 4. SOA Metamodel and Ontology Department of Justice: –Bureau A Person of Interest X –Threat Analysis 1 –Etc. Department of Homeland Security –Bureau B Person of Interest Y –Incident Report 2 –Bureau C Person of Interest Z –Interview Report 3 –Etc. Content Management Services Knowledge Moreover, the level of integration that is possible today is evident in an ever-expanding array of online services in commercial endeavors and consumer products (e.g., eBay and Amazon.com). Surely, first responders should be able to share information and effectively communicate in emergency situations, when seconds count and lives are at stake. NIEM CONOPS, Page 6) NIEM Roadmap Pilot

31 5. Future Plans January 23, 2007, Collaborative Expedition Workshop # 57 at NSF: –SOA: Initiatives and Perspectives in State and Local Government (tentative title) Joint Quarterly Seminars of the ACT/IAC Best Practices Committee and CIO Council’s Best Practices Committee: –Dates at the American Institute of Architects Building To Be Announced Soon. SOA CoP: –Articles/White Papers and Input to next Federal CIO Boot Camp. –New Leadership in Training. –3 rd SOA for e-Government Conference (in planning).
