Notes from June 21 and 22, 2004
Business Enterprise Integration Domain Task Force
Reported by Fred Cummins, EDS
Software Portfolio Management
Pete Rivett of Adaptive delivered a presentation on the proposed
final specification. The specification was considered at the last
meeting. The version considered here had minor corrections from the
previous version and thus qualified for a vote. The task force voted to
recommend adoption (see OMG work in process for document references).
Business Rules Management RFI
Paul Vincent of Fair Issac presented the proposed RFI for business rules
management. There were minor changes and the task force voted to
recommend issue of the RFI (
bei/2004-06-03 )
Business Process Definition Metamodel
Tracy Gardner of IBM gave a brief presentation on current thinking for
the BPDM specification. All submitters are working on a combined
submission.
Business Modeling (part 1)
Fred Cummins of EDS presented several slides for discussion (
bei/2004-06-04 ). Key to this
discussion was a mapping of commonly used “business models” to the
Zachman Framework which suggested that the models do not align to
Zachman columns but generally present views that involve multiple
columns. There was also support for the need for mapping of enterprise
processes to organizations and a transformation of enterprise processes
to operational processes rather than enterprise processes being a simple
abstraction of operational processes.
Organization Structure Metamodel RFP
Fred Cummins of EDS presented a revised Organization Structure Metamodel
RFP that reflected issues raised by the Architecture Board on Monday.
The task force voted to recommend issue of the revised document (
bei/2004-06-05 ) with minor
modifications. The RFP was later approved by the Architecture Board and
issued by the Domain Technical Committee.
Business Modeling (part 2)
Donald Chapin of Business Semantics presented levels of business
modeling he has used in practice: Strategic, Tactical, Operational and
Executable (
bei/2004-06-06 ). He uses the same
levels for analysis of internal organizations where they consider other
parts of the organization to be customers and suppliers of their
services.

specifications:
- Business Process Runtime Interfaces revised submission
