Government Domain Task Force (GovDTF)

Whitepaper: OMG Value Proposition for
Governmental Organizations


Index:

Description:

Provide the value proposition of using MDA and related specifications.

Proposed Whitepaper Sections:

  • Case Studies of MDA in the US Federal Government
  • Enabling the FEA with MDA
  • Using MDA to Drive SOA in Governmental Organizations
  • Software Assurance in Government

Originally these sections had been identified as separate whitepapers for the Roadmap. It was judged that each is an aspect of the value proposition & therefore it was decided that an over-arching whitepaper would be written with these sections. Each section may be selected for future elaboration as a separate whitepaper in the future.

Objectives:

Provide a guide to governmental organizations to the advantages of using Model Driven Architecture in the context of the regulatory milieu (e.g., Federal Enterprise Architecture, the Clinger Cohen Act) and the disparate and ever changing panoply of technologies (e.g., Service Oriented Architectures, Web Services, programming languages, middleware protocols)

Activity History:

20080623 Ottawa Meeting – The status of this work item was reviewed. It is close to completed, but it has been very difficult to spend time on this particular work-item given the high level of activity on other items.

20071211 Burlingame Meeting – The review schedule for the whitepaper is synchronized with that of the Model Based Acquisition RFI. Both are intended to be issued in the Washington DC Meeting 10-March-2008. Editorship assmued by Larry Johnson of TethersEnd Consulting, Daryll Prescott of National Archives, and George Thomas of the General Services Administration.

20070924 Jacksonville Meeting – Work item was reactivated. Editorship assumed by Ed McCeney, US Dept of the Interior.

20061204 Washington DC Meeting – Work item put on hold due to lack of resources to work it. Cycles are being consumed by the Records Management Services and Federal Transition Framework work items.

20060811 – Pam Corsini, US Dept of Treasury, assumed the Editorship of the Whitepaper

20060627 Boston GovDTF Meeting – The Work Item was not addressed at this meeting due to work on the Records Management Services RFP (successfully issued in this meeting). The plan is to meet the goal of issuing the Whitepaper in Anaheim in September 2006 by writing and reviewing the paper in between meetings using eMail and teleconferences.

20060425 St. Louis GovSIG Meeting – The Work Item was scheduled for execution and the initial schedule established.
