| Abstract: |
This article presents a “draft” publication of Version 3 of the SAE Meta Model. It incorporates some changes based on our continued work with customers and standards organizations and provides a mapping to SoaML so that end users can reap the benefits of both the breadth and depth of the SAE Meta Model as well as the capabilities that tool vendors will develop based on SoaML. Everware-CBDI plans to publish mappings to other ontologies shortly and other meta models as they mature. We look forward to hearing your feedback over the coming weeks as we finalize Version 3. |
| Backgrounder: |
It’s been some time since the last major revision of the CBD-Service Architecture and Engineering™ (SAE) Meta Model for SOA. Since then Everware-CBDI has published a UML Profile for SAE1 that has received quite broad acceptance and has been downloaded by thousands of members worldwide.
Everware-CBDI is committed to aligning with standards where appropriate and to that end we have contributed to, and worked extensively on SoaML2, the service modeling language developed within the Object Management Group (OMG). What we’ve found in the course of our involvement in these efforts is that while there is some convergence in terminology, significant differences remain in the details between the various standards bodies working in this area, ranging from overall purpose of model/ontology of each organization to the exact definitions.
Our intent in the SAE Meta Model is to provide support for these various standards to our membership while not sacrificing the value built into our existing meta model. To that end, we will provide mappings of SAE terminology to these various meta models, profile and ontologies and guidance regarding their use within SAE. |
