Pragmatic approach to information management

• Define domain model

• Least-common-denominator

• Canonical Model

+ Easy to understand

+ Human readable

+ Quick to execute

- Less flexible

- Hard to extend

- Re-invent the wheel

- Not according to standard





GPDIS_2017.ppt | 9

Standards approach to information management

• Rich information

model

• Detailed enough to

capture all aspects of a

product over its

complete lifecycle

• Developed by the end

users to fit their

requirements

• Map customer model

to standard





GPDIS_2017.ppt | 10

So, which one is the best?





GPDIS_2017.ppt | 11

Focus on your domain, not technical details





GPDIS_2017.ppt | 12

How to make this happen, in reality

• Concepts are not new,

templates in PLCS

have been around for

years

• What is new is the

realization:

• Modelling language

and constructs, SysML

& containment

• Datastore

REST APIs

• Open and Documented

• oAuth 2.0• Industry standard REST

authorization approach

• The User Interface is only

using the REST APIs

• Dynamic based on

configuration

• Stateless• Industry standard REST

approach

• Using HATEOAS,

Hypermedia as the Engine

of Application State

Summary

• Data quality is very

important!

• Use standard data layers

(e.g. PLCS) to ensure data

consistancy and quality,

but…

• …focus on the business

processes to build your

differentiator.

• You can have the best of

both worlds!
