Registry Components

Box Name : Artifact Reference and Store

This registry component  is The artifact reference is a store or registry that contains references to the various artifacts.  Each artifact should have a URL that can be used to physically access the file.  Each artifact reference is accompanied by a checksum or some other method to be able to verify the accessed object.

Box Name : Artifact Access

This registry component provides programmatic access to artifacts in the Artifact Reference and Store.

Box Name : Artifact Registry and Retrieve

This registry service  This service provides a programmatic method for accessing artifacts within the SIinterface for interacting with the artifact reference registry.

Box Name : Transformation Governance Integration

This service provides a service that has a number of services that take as input some artifact and outputs in alternative representations.  This might include a class model in UML being transformed to an OWL ontology. registry service  provides state mechanisms about known artifacts that can be accessed and reviewed through governance activates.

Box Name : Validation and Conformance Suite

This registry service integrates with the reasoning system to validate the conformance of specific artifacts (ECCF models).

Semantic Components

Box Name : Semantic Knowledge Store

This store semantic component provides a physical representation of semantics that have either been derived through artifact analysis, or through manual annotation.  This store could be represented by an RDF triple store.

Box Name : Artifact Registry and Retrieve Transformation

This semantic component provide a function that take as input some artifact and outputs in alternative representations.  This might include a class model in UML being transformed to an OWL ontology The registry and retrieve service provides a programmatic interface for interacting with the artifact reference registry.

Box Name : Automated Semantics Discovery
Suite

This semantic service takes an as input artifacts or artifact transformations and extracts as much semantics many semantic representations as possible.  The details and amounts of the semantics will depend on artifact type, representation, and completeness.   The results are then stored in the Semantic Knowledge Store.

Box Name  : Annotation

The annotation services This semantic service provides functionality which that allows additional semantics to be added to about an artifact reference in the Semantic Knowledge store, and is used to augment the semantic representation which were automatically discovered.

Box Name : Orchestration

The orchestration service manages the internal flow of operations which can be performed.  This includes automating the transformation and semantic discovery and the utilization of various rule systems or classification systems.

Data Transformation Service

This semantic service provides a set of transformation functions which are designed to transform data, this may include transforming data graphs in to CSV,  result sets in to XML, or other reasonable transformations.  This function may use semantics stored about artifacts to aid in the transformation function.
