  • Patent number: 9111004
    Abstract: Implementation of a meta-model service of a service oriented architecture industry model repository into a web ontology language representation of at least one topic map meta-model into a plurality of temporal scope topic map meta-models representing states of the at least one topic map meta-model at different times. The implementation includes assigning topics, occurrences, and attributes from the meta-model service to the at least one topic map meta-model. The topics, occurrences, and attributes are assigned from the at least one topic map meta-model to plurality of temporal scope topic map meta-models. The topics, occurrences, and attributes from the plurality of temporal scope topic map meta-models are converted into resource description framework triples; and the resource description framework triples are persisted into the resource description framework repository.

  • Publication number: 20150206263
    Abstract: A method of modeling a jurisdiction provides jurisdiction resilience information and jurisdiction impact information. The method models a jurisdiction system by determining the multiple different systems present in a particular jurisdiction. The method determines the assets of the multiple different systems and stores asset information describing the respective assets of the multiple different systems in a jurisdiction meta-model. The method may determine critical paths across the different systems of the jurisdiction and identify those critical paths across different systems in the jurisdiction meta-model. The method may also determine cascading effects of incidents to assets within each system and identify those cascading effects within each system in the jurisdiction meta-model. The method may also determine cross-cascading effects of incidents to assets across different systems of the jurisdiction and identifying those cross-cascading effects in the jurisdiction meta-model.

  • Patent number: 8694356
    Abstract: Augmenting service oriented architecture (‘SOA’) governance maturity including receiving an evaluation of the maturity of the governance of the SOA; identifying, for each governance capability in dependence upon the evaluation of the maturity of the governance capability, one or more predefined risks to the SOA; establishing, for each governance capability in dependence upon the predefined risks to the SOA, a risk value representing the severity of the predefined risks; selecting, for each governance capability in dependence upon the evaluation of the maturity of the governance of the SOA and the predefined risk value, one or more governance work products; and communicating to predetermined stakeholders in the SOA the one or more predefined risks to the SOA identified for each governance capability, the risk value established for each governance capability, and the governance work products selected for each governance capability.

  • Publication number: 20120278353
    Abstract: Receiving a search query from a user including a domain, a topic, a scope and a radix. Searching within a topic map based index of a topic map meta-model with instance ontology using as search parameters, the domain, the topic, the scope, and the radix of the search query. Displaying, for a user, results from the topic map meta-model with instance ontology which satisfy all of the search parameters of the search query.

    Abstract: Evaluating service oriented architecture (‘SOA’) governance maturity including receiving, from a plurality of predetermined stakeholders in the SOA for a plurality of SOA governance capabilities, a stakeholder assessed value representing the current maturity of each of the plurality of SOA governance capabilities; determining, for each of the plurality of SOA governance capabilities in dependence upon the plurality of stakeholder assessed values from the stakeholders, a capability value for each of the plurality of SOA governance capabilities; assigning each of the SOA governance capabilities to a domain; determining, in dependence upon the capability values for each of the plurality of SOA governance capabilities of each domain, a domain maturity value for each domain; and communicating the domain maturity value for each domain to the predetermined stakeholders of the SOA.
