The Reference Model
In the feasibility phase of the InfoCities project, a
Reference model for the Technical part of the
model has been elaborated. It is expressed in a 70 pages
document, illustrated with three presentations (for teaching
and further improvement). That model has been qualified by
the answers to a questionnaire of the partners of the
InfoCities Consortium.
Simultaneously, the elaboration of the Reference
model for the Business part has been started. But
the information gathered was insufficient or lacking to
define a solid model. Such an effort was only possible after
that all the members of the consortium had written their
Business plan. Indeed, the template used for the
business plans has been improved but not radically based on
a systematic model duly consolidated.
The Taxonomy
However, at the far end of the InfoCities project, one
of the member of the InfoCities consortium (Titan)
has elaborated a Taxonomy based on the experience
gained during the project and from the Business plans
presented in the final deliverable. This public deliverable
presents the Technical Reference model and the taxonomy for
the Business model and for the Management model with
illustrations coming from the InfoCities project. So, the
three pillars of the overall model are:
1. The
Management Model
2. The Business
Model
3. The Technical Model
The terminology used can be found at
several places depending on the domain
1. General
technology
2. Document &
Messages
3. Service oriented
