  • Using SID Patterns

    Back from vacation and then off the next day to Bonn, Germany last week to conduct some SID training. So I thought it would be good to switch from the eTOM to the SID in this edition of the blog, based on an my experience with some students that knew UML but were not practicing information modelers. But, before I get into the details of using SID patterns, I know I have a responsibility to chat a little about my culinary experience. Being of part German descent on my father’s side, my grandmother...

  • Using the Business Process Framework (eTOM) as a Checklist

    I thought I would continue chatting about the eTOM in this edition of the blog, based on an experience I had this past week with a member. But, before I get into the details of using the eTOM as a check list, I know I have a responsibility to chat a little about my culinary experience. I spent last week in the Washington, DC area, home of some great seafood. One of my weaknesses is a fondness for little neck clams. So, I indulged and had a delightful meal of linguine adorned by about a dozen of these...

  • The Quest for the Lowest Level Process

    My last two blogs focused on implementing the SID. For a change of pace (and subject), this blog will look at implementing the eTOM. Was back in China this past week, working hard and sampling some more culinary delights. One delight that is hard to find in Shenzhen, where I was, but is found pretty easily in Nanjing is egg dumplings. The wrapper for these delicious morsels is made of egg, rather than the traditional dough wrapper. They are often served in a broth or hot pot together with Chinese...

  • Model, Database, API Conformance to the SID

    Back from the hugely successful Nice Management World conference, sitting here thinking about Pizza Coco. It is where, over my last eleven conferences, I experienced some of the best thin-thin crust pizza that has ever made its way into my mouth! Two ingredients, often missing from pizzas I have had, are a good dose of oregano and an egg broken into the middle of the pizza just before it is taken from the oven. Pizza Coco doesn’t forget these, egg on demand, however. Before getting into the main...
  • SID and Database Design

    Was back in the US again this past week teaching near Denver. Celebrated Cinco de Mayo at a great little Mexican restaurant in Lakewood, Colorado, where I enjoyed Puerco Adobado, marinated pork in spices. Here’re the links to the restaurant and a recipe in case you want to try a true taste of Mexico… http://tapatiomexican.com/index.html http://www.astray.com/recipes/?show=Chuletas%20de%20puerco%20adobados The recipe calls for pounding the port flat, which is something to consider when implementing...

  • Programming the Entity Key

    This week I will show you how to use and program the Entity primary key. The Inventory API uses a polymorphic primary key to address the issue of having multiple vendor entity identification mechanisms. Our primary key is named InfoModelEntityPrimaryKey and is defined in the Entities.xsd as: <schema xmlns:inv="http://osswave.com/xml/inv/v1-5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:cberes="http://ossj.org/xml/Common-CBEResource/v1-5" xmlns:cbecore="http...
  • TM Forum's First Software Developer Regional Spotlight

    TM Forum held its very first Software Developer Regional Spotlight on March 30 th , in Bangalore, India. The event was a great success. It provided a technical overview of TM Forum’s Frameworx and included a deep dive into a number of areas, including Enterprise Identity Management and the Open Source Interface Framework. The Enterprise Identity Management generated a lot of discussion as clearly security and synchronised Single Sign On is an issue for many of our members. Problems and potential...
  • Introduction of new technology

    While travelling from India last week I happened to notice, what appeared to be the airport authorities approach to the introduction on new technology, particularly new technology which usually causes an initial negative reaction. The queue for the security check point which scanned the Iris of your eye, moved significantly faster then the queue where your passport was checked manually by a security officer. The approach was simple, obvious and working! If it makes life easier and faster, people...
  • Using TM Forum Frameworx: A Developer’s View

    Back in China this week, working on my chop stick skills and have now mastered (almost) the art of taking noodles, one of my favorites, out of a big bowl without leaving most of them in the bowl or all over the table! Also, tried some new things– cold goose with fresh chopped garlic and a soup of mushroom and donkey..that’s right donkey. Speaking of noodles, I often call my brain my noodle or when trying to come up with an answer to a question, I often say “I am noodling it out”. So, here I’ll noodle...
