Why use Business Models?

Allow your organisation to represent your business concepts within WSRR

Relate them to other artifacts in your registry

Manage them using WSRR’s governance capability

Enforce constraints on metadata associated with the Business Model

Creating an instance of a Business Model

When you request instantiation of a custom Business Model, a Concept is created in WSRR and the following metadata is automatically added:

• Predefined properties (with default values if available)

• Predefined relationships

The following constraints must be satisfied before the Business Model can be persisted:

• Properties– Type (e.g. integer, string, enumeration)– Required value? (cardinality of 1)

• Relationships– Type - relationship targets are of a particular type (e.g. WSDL Port,

Contract) or subclass of the target type– Cardinality - min & max number of targets

How is a Business Model Template defined?

Written using the Ontology Web Language (OWL) standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-features/)

– Inheritance

– Abstract classes (i.e. non-instantiable)
