The Open Source technology portfolio of ModelDriven.org is organized into a portfolio of assets supported by projects. A ModelDriven.org member can then select those projects they what to participate in and thus drive. project selection and progress is based on the needs, direction and participation of members. These projects reflect our commitment to a combination of industry directions Enterprise Model Driven Architecture, Service Oriented Architecture, Business Process Engineering, the Semantic Web. The theme of our technology portfolio is to bring these industry initiatives together, forming an integrated solution set. The ultimate goal of the portfolio is to provide integrated, supported, tested and indemnified Open Source capabilities made enterprise ready in the ModelDriven.org’s commercial software builds – but the technologies are not yet sufficiently mature to produce the commercial build, this requires additional development. As members get involved it is expected that the shape of the technology portfolio will change over time. The member-driven Architecture Board shapes the technical direction of the projects while the member-driven Executive Advisory Board makes strategic and business decisions. Members directly affect the funding of projects by directing the disposition of their membership fees. ModelDriven.org addresses three layers of Open Source assets; Business Solutions - Business models, architectures, blueprints and components including full applications for a variety of domains. Enabling the Model Driven Approach - Modeling Tools, MDA Tools and Metadata Management leveraging the Semantic Web. The modeling layer provides for the full life-cycle of solutions from high level business modeling to runtime services. Execution Frameworks and Infrastructure – including Business Process Execution Engines, Service Oriented Architecture Technologies, Application Servers, Enterprise Service Bus, Asset and Service Discovery and Supporting Infrastructure.
The specific projects to be pursued will be based on community interest and support. The projects that we intend to focus on initially are: - Building a library of open source models - sometimes we call this "Open Model" instead of "Open Source" - but then people don't know what we are talking about!
- Building an architecture metadata infrastructure implementing OMG MOF standards on top of the semantic web. This is the "Intellectual Capital Platform" with a supporting "Ontology of Architecture".
But - the community may have other ideas, lets talk!
