This section provides an overview of the key tools that are expected to address the Semantic Infrastructure requirements. Tools are a combination of applications, user interfaces and services that address a specific Semantic Infrastructure requirements. The tool description provides a user view of how the tools may be used to for specific tasks.

This section includes the following:

ECCF Registry and User Interface

The ECCF registry interface will provide a single interface for accessing all the artifacts and service metadata. Users will be able to use the interface to perform:

Artifact Search and Access

  • Search the registry for model
  • Search CTS 2 for existing value sets
  • Search the OID registry for an appropriate identifier route
  • Retrieve an existing model from the registry
  • Retrieve schemas and form definitions
  • Import a new model for annotation (binding to terminology and value-sets)
  • Retrieve the value set from CTS 2 and apply to the model attributes

Artifact Authoring

  • Create a new value set (leveraging terminology services) and manage existing artifacts
  • Register the object identifier with its metadata
  • Register a new artifact in the registry with its metadata (including ECCF specific information), traceability to support provenance
  • Link the models to existing models, domains, or both and classify artifacts
  • Constrain existing models
  • Constrain existing data-types
  • Link artifacts to service specifications
  • Dupport collaborative development of metadata

Artifact Governance and Lifecycle Management

  • Initiate artifact workflow
  • Monitor the workflow process
  • Allow curators to set the status of a model and receive change notifications
  • Customize review and approval workflows
  • Govern collaborative development

Artifact Analysis

  • Execute semantic queries for search and analysis

Access Control and Policy Management

  • Establish templates and policies that can be applied to artifacts
  • Link the users security and access rights to a particular governance and workflow
  • Execute semantic queries for analysis
  • Identify dependencies

Search and Access Services

  • Discover services
  • Execute complex queries to identify services
  • Discover contracts at runtime

Administer Services and Specifications

  • Create a new service specification
  • Create and edit service metadata
  • Link the artifacts to the service specification
  • Construct conformance statements
  • Run validations on specification and supporting artifacts
  • Apply constraints, rules and policies
  • Constrain and reuse existing specifications and artifacts

Analyze Services

  • Execute semantic queries for analysis
  • Perform impact analysis to identify dependencies and constraints

Service Governance and Workflows

  • Initiate service specification governance
  • Monitor the workflow and approval process
  • Allow governance team to set the status of specification and promote
  • Manage versioning and localization of the service specifications
  • Govern collaborative development

Plug-ins, Loaders and Miscellaneous Development Tools

Plug-ins and development tools are extensions to existing tools to support better integration with the ECCF registry:

  • Publish artifacts from eclipse and other modeling tools to the ECCF registry
  • Publish content from external tools to the ECCF registry, with support for topic maps and DITA
  • Extract and load metadata from artifacts into registry

Forms Editor

An end user tool for creating and editing forms:

  • Create form definitions
  • Retrieve models, data-types and value-sets
  • Define skip patterns, layout and display options
  • Publish forms to ECCF registry
  • Reuse and leverage predefined templates

Conformance Testing Framework

A testing framework for developing automated test scripts that can be executed against an artifact or service.

  • Retrieve artifact metadata and conformance statements
  • Generate test scripts
  • Execute conformance tests
  • Generate conformance report
