Out of scope for this RFP is non-operational business relevant risk such as marketplace risk, credit risk, legal risk, project management risk, etc. The conceptual model will have an information exchange format based on NIEM, but mappings to other exchange formats, such as STIX may be supported as well. For further details see Section 6 of this document. Introduction Goals of OMG The Object Management Group (OMG) is a software consortium with an international membership of vendors, developers, and end users. Established in 1989, its mission is to help computer users solve enterprise integration problems by supplying open, vendor-neutral portability, interoperability and reusability specifications based on Model Driven Architecture (MDA). MDA defines an approach to IT system specification that separates the specification of system functionality from the specification of the implementation of that functionality on a specific technology platform, and provides a set of guidelines for structuring specifications expressed as models. OMG has published many widely-used specifications such as UML [UML], BPMN [BPMN], MOF [MOF], XMI [XMI], DDS [DDS] and CORBA [CORBA], to name but a few significant ones. Organization of this document The remainder of this document is organized as follows: Section 2 – Architectural Context. Background information on OMG’s Model Driven Architecture. Section 3 – Adoption Process. Background information on the OMG specification adoption process. Section 4 – Instructions for Submitters. Explanation of how to make a submission to this RFP. Section 5 – General Requirements on Proposals. Requirements and evaluation criteria that apply to all proposals submitted to OMG. Section 6 – Specific Requirements on Proposals. Problem statement, scope of proposals sought, mandatory requirements, non-mandatory features, issues to be discussed, evaluation criteria, and timetable that apply specifically to this RFP. Appendix A – References and Glossary Specific to this RFP Appendix B – General References and Glossary
SBVR - Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (http://www.omg.org/spec/SBVR/1.2/PDF) specifies a model for defining business vocabulary and rules Shared Operational Picture Exchange Services, (SOPES) Information Exchange Data Model (IEDM) - http://www.omg.org/spec/SOPES/Model Driven Message Interoperability (MDMI) - . MDMI provides a standard for financial message definition and mapping. Ontology Definition Meta Model (ODM) – . ODM provides MOF and UML representations of multiple ontology languages including OWL, RDF/S and Common Logic. Structured Assurance Case Metamodel (SACM) - . Assurance cases include many concepts overlapping with threats and risks. Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) – Fibo provides a conceptual ontology that includes concepts of financial risk. IEF Specifications BMM – BMM provides concepts for means and ends that may be appropriate for risks. UML Profile for NIEM (NIEM-UML) - http://www.omg.org/spec/NIEM_UML/1.0/Beta2/ Relationship to other OMG Documents and work in progress Information Meta Model (IMM) – (). IMM will include a meta model for XML schema that can be used with a QVT mapping for GRA. UML Profile for NIEM (NIEM-UML) 3.0- Semantic Information Modeling for Federation (SIMF) – provides a foundation for conceptual modelling and mapping:
Platform Specific Model (PSM) - A model of a subsystem that includes information about the specific technology that is used in the realization of it on a specific platform, and hence possibly contains elements that are specific to the platform. Request for Information (RFI) - A general request to industry, academia, and any other interested parties to submit information about a particular technology area to one of the OMG's Technology Committee subgroups. Request for Proposal (RFP) - A document requesting OMG members to submit proposals to an OMG Technology Committee. Task Force (TF) - The OMG Technology Committee subgroup responsible for issuing a RFP and evaluating submission(s). Technology Committee (TC) - The body responsible for recommending technologies for adoption to the BoD. There are two TCs in OMG – the Platform TC (PTC) focuses on IT and modeling infrastructure related standards; while the Domain TC (DTC) focuses on specific standards. Unified Modeling Language (UML) - An OMG standard language for specifying the structure and behavior of systems. The standard defines an abstract syntax and a graphical concrete syntax. UML Profile - A standardized set of extensions and constraints that tailors UML to particular use. XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) - An OMG standard that facilitates interchange of models via XML documents.
