Conformance at the Blueprint Level

Refer to for model mapping terms to RM-ODP viewpoints

Notes to Reader: The elipses <...> is intended to be filled in upon instantiation of the profile. 
<modal verb> refers to the ANSI-speak modal verbs SHALL, SHOULD, MAY.
A service in this context is an abstract concept with no technology or platform binding.
A conformance assertion provides a checklist to test conformance of a given profile at a given level.

• Business context
  • Definition:
    • scope
    • vision
    • requirements
    • use cases
    • ties to EHR-S Functional Profile.
  • The user expectations are

      • This service profile is designed to support <...> class of information views.
      • Implementation patterns <modal verb> be Guided/influenced by policy
      • This service profile is designed to support the implementation of <...> policies.
• Domain Information Model (DIM)

Conformance at the Platform Independent level

• Business Governance
  • Consists of
    • Rules
    • focus
    • Purpose
    • Policies
    • User roles
    • Timing
    • Sequencing(Potential)
    • Relationships
    • Technical design decisions that presume policy/Policies
  • Assertions
    • Set(s) of implications, consequences
    • Note to consumers EDITOR fill this out!
    • V3 core principles
• CIM, LIM
  • Definitions
  • Assertions
    • The artifacts are assertions of conformance.
    • Optionally include extra assertions that reflect quality/functional requirements associated with the invormation views.

• Interface Specifications
  • Definition
  • Assertions
    • The artifacts are assertions of conformance.
    • Optionally include extra assertions that reflect quality/functional requirements associated with the invormation views.

• Dynamic Model
  • Definition
  • Assertions
    • The
      • timing,
      • sequencing,
      • shared state,
      • rules
    • are realized by
      • roles,
      • relationships,
      • interactions,
      • exchanges,
      • channels.
    • Optionally include extra assertions that reflect quality/functional requirements associated with the invormation views.

NOTE: Designers in healthcare have a certain mental defect that empowers them to perform their function to the chagrin of those not so empowered.

Note RE a person object with dob and name.  
Programmer makes dob and name private, then creates setters and getters, wherein are defined the business rules.
When you bury the rules in the setters and getters you are hiding the behaviours.  Assuming a function CheckContent, the rules are hidden in the function.  
The behaviour needs to be explicit at the process level.  
Objects have encapsulation, services have virtualization:  Technically you are not doing any different between service and objects (except polymorphism, recursion).

Conformance at the Platform Binding Level

Assertions are the artifacts themselves: Optionally include extra assertions that reflect quality/functional requirements associated with the invormation views.

Dynamic Model

Discussion was held about the dynamic model. AMS captured the changes discussed in the model as expressed in EA(see diagram).
