Why business process modeling?

Combining two worlds of SOA invitation for a dialogue between e-business world and geo-spatial world finding commonness reference architectures, intersections between different domains etc.

our contribution business process standards and business information standards from a

major international standardization initiative

Business process classification

Business-to-Business (B2B) common business processes e.g. request geo data from geo data provider often no long term relationships established need for a flexible and scalable architecture

Business-to-Government (B2G) should work like B2B e.g. Waste Management, Governmental Aids, Financial Services

UN/CEFACT‘s Modeling Methodology (UMM)

Customizing UML for modeling B2B Independent of the IT platform, concentrates on business semantics Describes a choreography from a global perspective UML Profile: Stereotypes, Tagged Values, Constraints on top of the UML

Meta Model ~ 40 stereotypes defined in the meta model

Capture the requirements of an inter-organizational business process from a global perspective

Establish a common UML based model describing the business process Use the model to automatically derive machine executable code (BPEL or

BPSS) for a service oriented architecture (SOA) add core component logic (business information)

Core Components Problem domain

Information exchanged in business processes in a service oriented context

UN/CEFACT provides a generic solution Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) Almost no tool support possible - CCTS are standardized as spread

sheets

UML profile for core components Seamless integration into UML modeling tools possible Seamless integration into e.g. process specific models possible (UMM) ARC are actively participating in the standardization

Core Components

Are the central building blocks of the Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS)

Platform independent Used to create shared libraries of interoperable business documents The ontological base of the CCTS is the United Nations Trade Data

Element Dictionary (UN/TDED) Initially started as part of ebXML standards suite Now a dedicated project independent of ebXML

Conclusion & Summary

We showed how

UMM can be used to model inter-organizational business processes

the UML Profile for Core Components can be used to model the information exchanged in an inter-organizational business process

the UMM Add-In developed by ARC supports the modeler in modeling UMM and CCTS

we expect that a dialogue between the geo-spatial and the e-business modeling initiatives could result in improvements and wider international acceptance of SOA standards
