Here is the contents of the last slide.

The Enterprise Architect:

I tested yesterday bouml (that I had for long time on all my machines) to reverse enginner the code. The result is fast and efficient. I now have a nice uml diagram with all my classes.

You can then discuss the pro/cons as well as the obstacles and pre-requisites of each scenario. Once you know the preferred scenarios, it’s easier to draw the target (TO-BE) architecture.

FRBR and RDA will allow libraries to improve the visibility of their catalogs on the Internet by publishing chunks of structured information using the most recent semantic web technologies like RDF.

Here are some links about the subject :

que la Nature a distribué les mesures du corps humain comme ceci.

Quatre doigts font une paume, et quatre paumes font un pied, six paumes font un coude : quatre coudes font la hauteur d’un homme. Et quatre coudes font un double pas, et vingt-quatre paumes font un homme ;

I found a very good pdf on the web that also presents AORE : Agents Oriented Requirements Engineering.

The KAOS meta-model includes agents.

The AORE technique adds ways to represent agents interactions.

See great examples here :

The real trend is not apps. The real trend is the willingness to offer “interactive ebooks”. Or rather an interactive reading experience that contains multimedia, quizz, calculation, enhanced navigation, text to speech synchronization, games…

To offer that experience you have many options, for example :

- make a website (better if you have huge contents, you can stream the content on demand)

- make an ebook in PDF, ePub, Kindle. Even if the IDPF does his maximum, there are many challenges to achieve compatibility. On the other hand, you have the advantage of not locking your users in.

- make an app and deliver your content via an application store. The advantages are that the programming environment is very rich and “under control”, you can have quiet large applications (popular games can be 1GB), many users have the compatible devices (smartphones, tablets). The disadvantages is that you lock your customers into the app and that the application store will ask you 30% of the final price, making it harder to make money.

In the process of trying to repair I found a great set of tools called Hiren, see http://www.hiren.info/ If you need to save a broken PC, Hiren could be of a great help.

Using a false scenario and pseudo business process, during the first workshop, we perform SOA Service Identification via the clarification of the architecture using a System Context Diagram. Then we identify the key system capabilities required for enabling the business process. From there, after looking at the messages exchanged between systems and the opportunity to use an Entreprise Data Model for those, we continue towards a Service Candidate List containing : Service Name, Capability Name, Capability Description, Input, Output, Consumer and Provider.

In the second workshop, we take one of the services out of the candiate list and specify it completely  : functional context, quality of service, SLA, security, capabilities, pre-post conditions, exceptions… I also stress the importance of UML modeling for SOA by showing examples in Entreprise Architect.

The Service Identification and Modeling phases are part of the generic SOA Governance Lifecycle defined by Thomas Erl.

As main white papers underlying the workshop I recommend the following reading:

- IBM / Arsanjani – “SOMA: A method for developing service-oriented solutions“

- Oracle – SOA RA (Reference Architecture) Foundation v 3.1

- Thomas Erl, Understanding SOA Governance  (see free chapter  in pdf, includes the Service Lifecycle )

You can find the description of the sudy on their website : Een systeemarchitectuur voor de Digitale Bibliotheek.

We will mostly cover the development and the management of the libraries’ applications landscape and analyse how to balance the centralization and decentralization of the libraries underlying ICT systems.

But we will also spend some time thinking about some Business elements of the entreprise Architecture : which business processes will be impacted, which new business processes will emerge, which new roles will emerge, which new business collaborations…

Among the new business processes : the lending of eBooks or other digital material, the use of social networks to fullfil the library’s missions, the integration of the library systems with the other e-Gov systems (Culture, Regions, Provinces, Cities)…

I intend to use business and ICT capability maps to structure the the complexity of the libraries’ business.

But I will not work alone ! For this mission I can count on the collaboration of Rosemie Callewart (http://www.istoire.be/) and Ingensol (http://ingensol.com/)

If you know any good source for a library business map (organization, services, capabilities), let me know ! I can use it ! Otherwise we could publish such a library capability map end of 2013 after our study is finished (and if our customer agrees).

• Now: How are you handling your landscaping needs now?
• Enjoy: What do you enjoy most about your current landscape contractor or vendor?
• Alter: What would you like to change about your current vendor?
• Decision: Who makes the final decision about what landscape contractor you use?
• Solutions: What solutions can you suggest? (Taylor uses this to help her identify solutions she can offer.)
