Everybody sees (understands) the same?

Business Object oriented Enterprise Modeling

Problem Statement ?

A model is abstraction of reality

Reality is for everybody the same, how it is seen is different

→different people model reality differently

Challenge ?

Provide a method that guide modelers to model reality in such away that they all come up with the same model


Scope:

▪ Information Modeling

▪ Administrative Systems

4 Patterns:

1. Term-Concept Pattern (SBVR)

2. Concept Model Pattern (ERD)

3. Concept Classification Pattern

4. Business Object Model Pattern

Process:

1. What is the concept represented by a term?

2. What is the type of concept?

3. If the concept is an object, what type of object is it ?

4. Apply Concept Model Pattern.

BOEM in a nutshell


1) I describe “something”What does it mean?Synonyms ? Homonyms

2) What is the type of concept ?

3) Am I describing a business Object ?

4) What is the type of Business object ? 5) How do I model the concept relatedto otherconcepts ?

6) What are the concept Characteristics ?

Term – Concept Pattern Concept Classification Pattern

Business Object Model PatternConcept Model Pattern


Terms & definitions (SBVR)

Term, Concept, Definition ?

Every Business Concept

• is named by a business term.

• is accompanied by a definition .

Business Glossary:

The set of business terms accompanied by their

Definition(s) in context.

Example:▪ Business Concept: Actor▪ Business Term: Party▪ Business Definition:1) Party is an entity involved in an activity

(ISO20022 Business Glossary)2) Party is an autonomous entity in which a

bank has a business interest in (BIANBusiness Glossary)

thinking pattern, itis normally not

used to be shownin the information

model


Concept Model Pattern (ERD)

For each business concept we ask :

▪What is the definition ?

▪What are the Business Concept Types (classification) ?

▪What are the descriptors ? identifiers, life cycle status, other attributes

▪What are the relations with other business concepts ?

Aggregation relationship = has a set of

Concept Classification

Instances


Concept Model Pattern: Example

Customer ▪ As an object ?▪ As a Classification ? ▪ As a Relationship ?


Concept Classification Pattern :

What Information Concept Types to distinguish ?

A concept is “whatever you can think of”

This is too abstract to get grip on the type of information that has to be modeled.

There is a need to distinguish the concepts from an Information technical point of view.

Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN)

BIAN is widely known as a banking standard in the financial sector. It’s goal is to set

global standards to address the integration problem by focusing on application-to-

application (A2A) rather than business-to-business (B2B) integration.

1) Current Account? Definitions? 2) What are the type of concepts ?

4) What are the type of Business objects ? 5) Model the concept related to other concepts ?

6) What are the concept Characteristics ?

Current Account is a package of payment services (e.g., credittransfer, direct debit, withdraw, card payment, deposit) accompaniedby terms and conditions (e.g., interest, limits, charges, price, tax).

Current Account is an agreement between bank and customer/clientwhich regulates arrangements (e.g., withdraw, deposit, direct debit,price) and conditions (e.g., cancelation of contract, closing account,blocking account, interest, fees, charges and penalties) in using thecurrent account product.

Current Account is a bank account which keeps the financialstate/position of one or more current account agreements.

e.g., Current Account Agreement Identifier, Name, Description, Characteristics, Lifecycle, Lifecycle Date, …

Value proposition - Outcomes ?

• Faster common understanding of the meaning of terms

• Less entities , because of explicit awareness of the distinctionbetween objects and the views

• Information Models all have the same structure by nature

• Higher reusability and more easy identification of reusableobjects

• Definitions of concepts are much more precise because definedbased on objects and not on views

• Business rules can be defined much more precisely

• Different modelers modeling the same problem come up with for80% the same model

• Much more easy to formulate information requirements

• …
