Introduction

The Governance Service includes:

  • life cycle
  • An approval and review process for service specifications

  • The ability to promote services through the stages of the service life cycle

lifecycle. In addition to services, governance includes lifecycle life cycle management of artifacts. Artifacts include all kinds , including all types of content and information models, examples . Examples include the Enterprise Conformance and Compliance Framework (ECCF) specifications.

The Governance Service Governance and workflows category contains functional profiles are derived from the Service-Oriented oriented Architecture (SOA) Governance Model and the SOA Service Description Model.

Service Oriented -oriented Architecture is an architectural paradigm for organizing and utilizing using distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains. Consequently, it is important that organizations that plan planning 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 . This standardization promotes the effective creation and use of SOA-based services.

The scope of the governance service Governance Service includes governance of all artifacts and the ECCF service specifications. The governance service Governance Service provides CBIIT with a mechanism to track :

  • Track and manage all the service specifications

...

  • and supporting artifacts

...

  • Set consistent policies that can be applied all the projects

The Governance Service also and it also allows external adopters to track their artifacts /and specifications as they go through an internal review process. Specifically it helps

The Governance Service provides the following benefits:

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

Service Description

The Governance Service will provide the following functionality:

  • Provide compliance metrics as they relate to governance - Mechanisms : mechanisms to catalog and enable discovery of compliance records associated with policies, contracts, and constraints that are based on these metrics.
  • A Provide a mechanism to inform participants of significant management events, such as changes in governance rules or regulations.
  • Create policy templates - Governance : governance is expressed through policies and assumes multiple use of focused policy modules that can be employed across many common circumstances.
  • Create and edit service/, artifact /and specification rules and regulations.
  • Define metrics - Governance : governance relies on metrics to define and measure compliance
  • Create workflow templates and apply them to artifacts and services.
  • Customize review and approval workflows.
  • Ability Provide the ability to create a custom service /and artifact lifecycle life cycle and establish review milestones.
  • Establish Access Control Policiesaccess control policies.
  • Establish design time constraint policies against Establish Design Time Constraint Policies – Against specific milestones in the artifact /and service lifecycle.
  • Establish Runtime Constraint Policies – Against runtime constraint policies against specific milestones in the artifact /and service lifecycle.
  • Enforce policies against service specifications and artifacts.
  • Check service specifications /and artifacts for compliance against established access control, design time constraints and runtime constraints.
  • Support for both human and automated approval and review and of all artifacts and services.
  • Link the users' security and access rights to particular governance and workflow.
  • Support for partial specifications and a governance framework that addresses the low - end of the value curve , the innovators.
  • Provide a path for moving up the value curve and governance of more robust specifications.
  • Initiate service specification governance.
  • Monitor the workflow and approval process.
  • Allow governance team to set the status of a specification and promote it.
  • Manage versioning and localization of the service specifications.
  • Allow curators to set the status of a model and receive change notifications.
  • Govern collaborative development

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 /and 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:

  • Knowledge Management Service: This service is the primary interface for managing all service specifications and artifacts

...

  • . The Knowledge Management Service 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.
  • Decision Support Service:

...

  • This service provides a mechanism to construct semantic queries that can then be executed against the underlying artifacts

...

  • . The Decision Support Service also provides interfaces for functions such as generating reports

...

  • . The

...

  • Governance Services will use these interfaces.
