SC32WG2 N1425

Harmonization Study

• Initiated at the Jeju Meeting (June 2009)• To investigate possibility of the extraction of

common parts on MDR(ISO/IEC1119) & MFI (ISO/IEC19763)

Evolution of MFI

MFI-1: Reference Model

MFI-2: Core Model

MFI-3: MM for Ontology Reg.

MFI-4: MM for Model Mapping

MFI-5: MM for Process Reg.

MFI-8: MM for Role & Goal

MFI-6: Registration Proc

MFI-7: MM for Service Reg.

MFI-XX: MM4 XXXX

MFI-9: On demand selection Model (TR)

Start with May 2003

Expected Evolution of MDR & MFI (1) –Align the Two Families of Standards so

That Common Facilities Can Be Built

INTEGRATION POLICYWe should define

Policy Jeju-1

• Align 11179 Part 6 (new edition) with 19763-6 . These are different standards, but should be aligned, not combined.

• During development of the two standards, the editors should be careful to align the specifications of the two standards.

• We should not combine 11179-6 and 19763-6 into a single standard.

Issues to be addressed1. The Repackaging of the whole MFI and MDR needs to clarify the

difference of the scopes and basic structure of MFI and MDR.2. One possibility is that MFI Part3 may become a part of MDR,

rather than a part of MFI. Common facilities, such as the Registration Package of MDR Part3 Ed3 and MDR Part5, should be neutral both to MDR and MFI.

3. Duplication between MFI Part3 and MDR Part3 Ed3 There is a substantial duplication between MFI Part3 and the Concept System region of MDR Part3 Ed3

4. Whether MOF or UML should be used to define the metamodel (or model) of MFI and MDR MFI uses MOF, where as MDR uses UML. There is no essential problem., but WG2 standards should conform to a uniform way.

Cont’d

5. Whether a reference or an association should be used to define a relation MFI uses a reference, where as MDR uses an association. There is no essential problem., but WG2 standards should conform to a uniform way.

6. Styles to define an attribute is different in MFI and MDR They should be almost the same.

7. Numbering policy MDR numbers much smaller sub clauses than MFI does.

Requirements for the Architecture• Establish an architectural framework to be referred in

the future standardization activities in the ISO/IEC SC32,• The architecture should provide a structural view of

related standards, showing an information sharing infrastructure where each standard to be located , in order to increase the high level and smooth sharing of data, information and models through the registrations in the coming new paradigm such as the Cloud computing or the Grid computing.

• The exchanging of data, information and models should be supposed t o be done through the Web services.
