Long overdue, here is a paper I published last fall on use cases and integration templates for distributed service architectures. While this is not necessarily the most advanced set of use cases, it is intended to guide implementation of technologies…
The HL7 SOA Working Group has passed the hData Record Format (HRF) project scope statement as attached. This is a major milestone for hData, as the working group is committing itself to shepherd the HRF towards becoming a normative standard.…
I meant to put this up for some time now – here is a paper I wrote on classifying a couple of functional service chaining use cases and potential security integration templates. It is intentionally not very intense, but I…
The recent weeks have seen some rather amazing – and frightening – changes in the relationship between civil society, the internet, and governmental institutions. While many people ignored the indiscriminate release of tactical reports from the conflicts in Afghanistan and…
Sorry, but I cannot resist putting our hData infomercial up here: (Note: my sinuses were completely clogged, so I had to take some pseudo-ephedrine… guess it shows)
Here is a couple of questions I’d love to put out – if you have the time, please let me know since I am genuinely curious: Who has implemented a successfully chained service, with some propagation of identity? If you…
Who does not know and dread the recurring discussion of a topic long thought dead? The most egregious one lately was a discussion about the applicability of RFC 2119 to a particular standard I was working on (to protect the…
Last night, Emdeon and MITRE went public with our collaboration on hData. This as been in the works for quite a while, and I am very glad that we were able to get as far as we have come. The…
The hData specs are well under their way through the bowels of HL7 – right now we are preparing them for official ballot submission within the ITS working group. Overall, the architecture has not changed that significantly since our earliest…
Service chaining is – in my mind – somewhat underappreciated as use case is identity management. It is being paid some lip service, but often put off as too hard to solve. Yet, many of the issues I face in…
