ANNOUNCEMENT: Sovrin Governance Framework Comprehensive Architecture Reference Model (SOVRIN ARM) General Availability

[Bcc: CCG mailing list]

The SOVRIN ARM Interactive Explorer is available at: https://github.com/mwherman2000/sovrin-arm/blob/master/README.md#sovrin-arm---sovrin-governance-framework-comprehensive-architecture-reference-model-sovrin-arm ...with a few different viewpoints to start with. Click on any of the views on the left side of the web app to get going.

The current SOVRIN ARM model contains more than 100 elements including the following:


  *   All roles (and closely related elements)
  *   All elements in the Appendix B - Taxonomy of Entities diagram
  *   Most Sovrin Governance Framework documents
  *   Most Things (and closed related elements)

The remaining elements from the Sovrin Glossary will be added based on demand and time.

The original inspiration/driver for creating the SOVRIN ARM was the roles and actors taxonomy diagram in the HyperLedger Indy Getting Started Guide for Enterprise Architects and Developers (INDY GSG-EA) (https://github.com/mwherman2000/indy-gsg-ea/blob/master/python/doc/getting_started-enterpise.md#additional-actors).

Use Cases


  1.  Creating domain-specific subsets and supersets of the Sovrin terminology. This is easily accomplished in the SOVRIN ARM using tags/metadata on each element on the model.
  2.  Item-level tracking, approvals, versioning, etc. is another application of tags and metadata to the elements in SOVRIN ARM model.
  3.  Role hierarchy tree diagram in Appendix B - Taxonomy of Entities. In a recent conference call, it was hard to get approval but people weren't able to map from the tree diagram to the flat text of the body of the glossary in the available time because these are 2 different, disconnected versions of the truth: the diagram is a one-off drawing that is not easy to correlate the rest of the document. The SOVRIN ARM models this directly enabling the tree diagram to be validated within 30 seconds using the SOVRIN ARM model.
The SOVRIN ARM for the Sovrin Governance Framework ...completely separate (for now) from the ARM for the Indy software platform (https://github.com/mwherman2000/indy-arm/blob/master/README.md#indy-arm-interactive-explorer).

Both models were creating using the ArchiMate graphical modeling language and Archi, the open source modeling tool for enterprise architecture.
