Introduction


This includes predefined templates, workflows, and governance policies for governing the service lifecycle as well as an approval and review process for service specifications and the ability to promote services through the stages of the service lifecycle. In addition to services, governance includes lifecycle management of artifacts. Artifacts include all kinds of content and information models, examples include the ECCF specifications.
The Service Governance and workflows category contains functional profiles derived from the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Governance Model and the SOA Service Description Model. Service Oriented Architecture is an architectural paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains. Consequently, it is important that organizations that plan to engage in service interactions adopt governance policies and procedures sufficient to ensure that there is standardization across both internal and external organizational boundaries to promote the effective creation and use of SOA-based services.
The scope of the governance service includes governance of all artifacts and the ECCF service specifications. The governance service provides CBIIT with a mechanism to track and manage all the service specifications (and supporting artifacts), set consistent policies that can be applied all the projects and it also allows external adopters to track their artifacts/specifications as they go through an internal review process. Specifically it helps:

  • Improves productivity of the governance team and the internal CBIIT curation team and cuts down on the communication overhead.
  • Promotes reuse and eliminates redundancy by providing a mechanism to identify services/artifacts and avoid silo-ed development.
  • Addresses the key concern of the community, which is the ability to track their information models as they go through internal reviews.
  • Provides a mechanism to establish policies and consistently apply across all service specifications
  • Generate reports/metrics to track the compliance, issues, etc

Service Scope


The scope of the Governance Service is limited to providing the ability to create and manage workflows and policies as they relate to services/artifact governance. In supporting these core capabilities, the service will provide many interfaces to create, update, query and delete this information.

Service Interactions


The Governance Service will interact with the following systems and services:

  1. Knowledge Management Service: This service is the primary interface for managing all service specifications and artifacts, the knowledge management is a core semantic infrastructure service. The governance service uses this service to query for key metadata about the artifacts; this information is then used to define policies.
  2. Decision Support Service: The decision support service provides a mechanism to construct semantic queries that can then be executed against the underlying artifacts; it also provides interfaces for generating reports, etc. The governance services will use these interfaces.
