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 requirement. The tool description provides a user view of how explains how users may work with the tools may be used to perform specific tasks.

ECCF Registry

...

User Interface

The ECCF registry interface Registry User Interface will provide a single interface for accessing access to all the artifacts and service metadata. Users Through the interface, users will be able to use the interface to perform:perform the activities identified below.

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) , and traceability to support provenance
• Link the models to existing models, domains, or both and classify artifacts
• Constrain existing models
• Constrain existing data-typesdatatypes
• Link artifacts to service specifications
• Dupport Support 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 a specification and promote
• Manage versioning and localization of the service specifications
• Govern collaborative development

...

• 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 The Forms Editor is an end user tool for creating and editing forms:

• Create form definitions
• Retrieve models, data-types datatypes 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 The Conformance Testing Framework is a tool 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

Knowledge Based Systems Support Tools

A set of Knowledge based systems support tools are knowledge engineering tools to support reasoning and inference use cases.:

• Knowledge Representation Definition
• Rule Pattern Definition
• Domain Model Development
• Knowledge Base Model Definition
• Fact Generation and Mapping tooling
• Rule Generation tooling
• Reasoner Framework for Standard Knowledge-based System Development
• Automated Reasoning Service Publication
