This section describes all the core semantic infrastructure capabilities and services.
The services are organized by functional profiles that aggregate the core services and
capabilities. The profiles address the following requirements:
- Artifact Management
- Service Discovery and Governance
- Forms Modeling
- Conformance Testing
- Terminology and Platform Integration
The functional profiles are organized by the Semantic Infrastructure Requirements as follows:

The semantic infrastructure capabilities and services address requirements and use cases for each domain. In addition to the domain specific use-cases, the capabilities also address CBIIT internal development and architecture requirements. Specifically, CBIIT has standardized on Service-Oriented Architecture as the foundational principle for applications architecture and interoperability. CBIIT has also adopted a formal approach (Enterprise Conformance and Compliance Framework) for defining service specifications. The capabilities address both the requirements for supporting semantic interoperability, and the need to publish formal specifications that can be adopted by external organizations and vendors.
The search and access profiles for each requirement are different as they are customized to access specific information in a defined format. For example, platform tools like the orchestration engine will leverage specific metadata to determine compatibility between two services.
