1. 1 OMG SOA SIG  To support an MDA approach to SOA that links architectural, business and technology views of services, including Business Process Management (BPM) and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA).  Identify and foster development of OMG modeling standards for SOA that integrate with and complement standards developed by other organizations such as W3C, Open Group and OASIS.  To improve awareness and understanding of SOA by OMG members.  To coordinate SOA related efforts within OMG. Provides a forum for discussion of SOA definition, methodologies, models, and both business and technical implocations. Primary goals:

2. 2 Activities Facilitated by SOA SIG  Promote re-use and harmonization of standards where possible (SOA definitions, Architecture, Methodology, Implementation…) across standards bodies (W3C, OASIS, The Open Group…) Consensus on who develops what standards (avoid overlaps); publish a joint Roadmap Started initial discussions with OASIS and The Open Group  MDA-SOA Workshop (hosted by OMG, twice a year)  Invite industry experts on SOA to share their vision  SOA Information Day in Boston (June 28, 06)

3. 3 Activities Facilitated by SOA SIG cont’d  ‘OMG on Wall Street’ Oct. 17, 2006, NYC –Demonstrate value of OMG’s Standards in developing the next generation, MDA driven SOA for financial services –Develop a ‘Preview’ of how the Life Cycle of financial business processes can be better managed within and across companies Discussions started on a candidate Payment/Funds Transfer process Evaluating use of ‘Reference Data’ Standards (like MDDL..) Use of a MDA compliant repository to manage all metadata for the ‘Life Cycle of Payment/Funds Transfer Process’ (process models, Services, Service components..) –Facilitators: OMG Finance Domain Task Force (FDTF) and SOA SIG –Sponsors: VISA, CitiGroup, IBM, FSTC (Financial Services Technology Consortium, http://www.fstc.org )http://www.fstc.org

4. 4 Gap Analysis GapPotential Opportunity for OMG SIG  Modeling approach to SOA –Model Driven Services  White paper on ‘SOA Framework’ (mapped to OMG standards: MDA and others)  RFP for UML Profile for Services –Inspired by IBM’s UML profile for software services –SOA Metamodel (Policy, contract…) Created email group ServicesProfileRFP@omg.org for the RFP to be issued by ADTF ServicesProfileRFP@omg.org  SOA Metrics and Maturity –Metrics (Quality of Service, Service availability, performance, maturity, governance, SLA…)  SOA Metrics RFP –Define Metrics –Group metrics into packages for measurement purpose (classification of metrics?)  Relationship between metrics models

5. 5 Gap Analysis cont’d Gap Potential Opportunity for OMG SIG  Service Traceability to Business Processes –Motivation to develop & invoke Services –Traceability of Services to business functions/processes and components  Use BPDM for Service Process modeling  Cross metamodel means to model traceability  Ontology & Semantics of Services – Ontology of Business, Application, Data Infrastructure Services…. – Semantic Reasoning over ontologies  Use ODM to develop Service Ontologies  Research overlap between WSMO (Web Service Modeling Ontology) Metamodel and ODM (to done by ODM team) –http://www.wsmo.org/ part of European Semantic Systems Initiative)http://www.wsmo.org/  Service Reasoner metamodel?  SOA Governance & Compliance –Categories of Governance and Policies –Regulations imposed on top of Services  Research OMG’s RC DSIG work for Compliance  White paper on levels and categories of Governance

6. 6 Gap Analysis cont’d GapOpportunity for OMG SIG  Service Discovery & Assets –Registry/Repository –Service Broker  RFP for Service Discovery metamodel – Use/extend UDDI – RAS, EDOC, eBXML  Research use of Core Components –Research draft UML Profile for Core Components (UN/CEFACT) http://www.untmg.org/untng_mambo/index.php?option=com_co ntent&task=blogcategory&id=0&Itemid=112  Service relationship to Events –Events that trigger Service execution –Causality relation with Events Sense and respond  Service relationship with Agents –Agent part of Sense and Respond!  Event definition and Metamodel  Event Ontology using ODM  Causality relationship metamodel? –Events traceability to Services, causality in execution and governance  Integration of EDA into Agent standards
