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:

Artifact Search & Access

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 2.0 requirement. The tool description explains how users may work with the tools to perform specific tasks.

This information below describes the interactions a user would have with the Semantic Infrastructure components. These activities address aspects of the Enterprise Conformance and Compliance Framework (ECCF), including artifact registry and functional interactions.

This section includes the following:

Semantic Infrastructure Services and Interactions

Artifact Search and Access

• Search the registry for model
• Utilizing a Common Terminology Services 2 (CTS 2) implementation, search for existing value sets
• Search the Identifiers registry for an appropriate identifier definition
• Retrieve
• 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 Retrieve schemas and form definitions
• import Import a new model for annotation (binding to terminology and value-sets)
• retrieve Retrieve the value set from CTS 2 implementation and apply to the model attributes

Artifact Authoring

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

Artifact Governance and Lifecycle Management

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

Artifact Analysis

• execute Execute semantic queries for search and analysis

Access Control and

...

Policy Management

• establish Establish templates and policies that can be applied to artifacts
• link 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 Discover services
• execute Execute complex queries to identify services
• Discover contracts at runtime contract discovery

Administer Services

...

and Specifications

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

Analyze Services

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

Service Governance and

...

Workflows

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

Access Control and Policies

• execute semantic queries for analysis
• identify dependencies

Plug-ins

...

, Loaders and Miscellaneous Development Tools

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

• publish Publish artifacts from eclipse and other modeling tools to the ECCF artifact registry
• publish Publish content from external tools to the ECCF artifact registry, with support for topic maps and DITA (presentation on topicmaps.com)
• Extract extract and load metadata from artifacts into registry

Forms Editor

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

• create Create form definitions
• retrieve Retrieve models, data-types datatypes and value - sets
• define Define skip patterns, layout and display options
• publish Publish forms to ECCF the artifact registry
• reuse Reuse and leverage predefined templates

Conformance Testing Framework

A testing framework The Conformance Testing Framework is a suite of tools for developing automated test scripts, conformance testing that can be executed against an artifact or service.:

• retrieve Retrieve or infer artifact metadata and any conformance statements
• generate test scripts
• provided
• Structure the artifact metadata for automated analysis
• Evaluate the artifact metadata and conformance statements against the base semantic profile
• Execute execute conformance testsgenerate conformance report
• Generate conformance report

Knowledge Based Systems Support Tools

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
