Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation Why CAM and NIEM? “Can you give us a brief overview of how you expect IT professionals and line of business managers to use CAM*?” – Van Ristau, CTO DLT Inc. *CAM editor toolkit – http://www.cameditor.org and OASIS Content Assembly Mechanism standard – http://docs.oasis-open.org/camhttp://www.cameditor.orghttp://docs.oasis-open.org/cam

4. Copyright ©2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation Response Line of business managers can use CAM to drive better alignment to NIEM and faster more consistent delivery of NIEM information exchanges enabling projects to be performed more timely and predictably CAM provides tools that allow business analysts to work collaboratively with software developers to build exchanges Teams use CAM to perform the 7 “D’s” tasks when implementing NIEM exchanges CAM automates the delivery of key XML artifacts for NIEM exchange services CAM can be deployed using the CAMV engine

5. Copyright ©2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation OASIS CAM standard and approach CAM is about content assembly for information exchanges using a visual XML paradigm with the components managed in dictionary collections NIEM provides the basis for domain dictionaries and the naming and design rules for creation of components NIEM aligns well with CAM because they share a common heritage in core component standards work CAM is designed for standards based business exchange development and simplifying that process CAM works for both top down new exchanges or bottom up customizing and tailoring of existing exchanges

Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation Design Create information exchange conceptual work flows including the information exchanges needed to match business process needs Determine conceptual information exchanges Understand security and information privacy needs Determine the information components for each exchange Organize the components in each exchange structure to an overall hierarchy to align with the business process needs CAM provides visual editor for prototyping of exchange structures along with Mind map modelling to allow conceptual reviews

11. Copyright ©2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation Discovery CAM provides a variety of tools to assist in discovery of existing components from dictionary collections Automatic comparison tool between exchange and dictionaries – creates mapping spreadsheet Search tools within dictionary interface Visual dictionary structure viewer Mind map models of dictionary components to allow further visual inspection and analysis

Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation Develop Using the CAM exchange structure outlines complete the actual exchange details Select actual components either from existing NIEM dictionaries or from the enterprise dictionaries Create new components or extend existing components to meet additional design needs Add validation rules for structure and content as needed by the business process Build working exchanges using actual simulated data with realistic XML instances Test each exchange to verify validation and operation Integrate the information exchange handling with the business processes and applications

Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation Delimit This step includes building in deployment specific details and rules and usage policy determinations Add additional XPath rules for local integration needs Constrain code lists to local use Limit and restrict content based on policy and role of exchange partners Contextually exclude structure components based on rules Create other integration artifacts for middleware such as policy control, partner certificates and security configuration Can configure these aspects through the CAM template and using middleware tools
