Executive Summary GEA-NZ reference taxonomies provide categorisation elements and terms to describe business, information, application, and infrastructure architecture for use across All of Government (AoG), sectors, clusters, and agencies. The Reference Taxonomies are used to:

Provide common language to;

o Promote service, information, system, and technology interoperability.

o Reduce complexity by abstracting, organising and simplifying complex information sets.

o Improve overall consistency and cohesiveness of cross government services, shared services and common capabilities.

o Deliver consistent and aligned views of commonly required operational and technological services.

Improve the efficacy, utility and cost effectiveness of ICT across government;

o Drive ICT efficiencies and transformation programmes through identification of opportunities for development or and reuse of common solutions.

o Support the development and delivery of coherent AoG Common Capabilities portfolio.

o Support the AoG Data Governance initiatives.

The intended audience of the Business Reference Taxonomy is (but not limited to):

Agencies’ Enterprise, Business and Solution Architects

Business Service Management Providers

Business partners involved in development and delivery of business and technology solutions

Business and IT Managers

Business Subject Matter Experts

Security Specialists for Certification & Accreditation activities (C&A)

Suppliers to the New Zealand Government.


Business Reference Taxonomy Introduction The GEA-NZ Business Reference Taxonomy describes and categorises the functions of the New Zealand Government across six common business domains instead of a siloed, agency-by-agency view.

The elements or terms in the taxonomy provide the basis for developing specific business reference architectures and patterns, and defining business capability. These reference architectures and patterns can be more readily used across government where the terms from the reference taxonomy are used consistently.

It is used for:

Identification of duplication of function within and across agencies and corresponding opportunities for cost reduction; collaboration, shared services, and solution reuse in agency IT portfolios.

Identification of gaps in function within and across agencies and corresponding opportunities for investment to improve customer centric service delivery, and related agency, cluster, and sector support functions.

Mapping Sector, Cluster and Agency services.

Defining Government Business Capabilities. Note: this was done for the GEA-NZ Government Business Capability Model by Government Enterprise Architecture. It covers Enterprise Capabilities, and Generic Government Capabilities. Sector, Cluster and Agency specific capabilities can be defined in the same manner by the responsible sectors and agencies.

The GEA-NZ Business Reference Model describes the relationship of the Business Reference Taxonomy within the GEA-NZ framework. This includes a description of artefacts and relationships across all GEA-NZ dimensions, and how to use the business taxonomy to realise architectural and business value.

Standards


Business Reference Taxonomy Principles The principle RB1B is specific to the business reference taxonomy; and the others (RT2-RT5) are generic to all GEA-NZ Reference Taxonomies.

Principle RT1B

Description Principle Reference Taxonomy 1 Business (RT1B); Elements that make up Business Domains, Areas, and Categories should be recognised industry functional terms, or NZ government functional terms.

Rational This is good practice.

1. Using unusual terms reduces usability and relevance of the taxonomy. 2. Terms for processes related to functions, or the services related to functions do not belong in this taxonomy. Process and Services should have a relationship to the

functions. Exceptions We may include elements for emerging and possibly experimental concepts for which we may want to provide guidance or direction. For example; this may occur where an element is specified to support the strategic direction of Government.

Principle RT2

Description Reference Taxonomy Principle 2 (RT2) is that elements should be useful at the Category level (3rd level).

Rational This is good practice. It assists the users apply the taxonomy to their architecture.

1. Use open language like "Category X includes;" rather than a list. The list should serve as examples. 2. An alternative to using level 4 sub-categories is summarising the "Narrower Terms:" that may belong to a category instead of creating lower level 4 sub-categories.

This approach will be used to simplify the taxonomy for GEA-NZ v3.2. 3. There shall be NO AoG level 5.

Exceptions Where level 4 is needed it is permitted and may be used where particular focus on a category supports the strategic direction of Government.

Principle RT3

Description Reference Taxonomy Principle 3 (RT3) is that the source of a term, or the definition used SHOULD be noted in the notes as “Source: The_Source”.


Rational This is best practice. It assists the user of the taxonomy check for updated information, and provides useful context.

1. All new or revised terms used in the v3.2 Taxonomy MUST have the source shown in the description. 2. All terms SHOULD have a source.

Exceptions Where elements / terms have not been revised, or are not new the "Source" MAY be missing in the v3.2 version of the taxonomy due to time constraints.

NOTE: In general the sources were FoNZ/NZGLS, the US FEAF v2, the AGA v3.0, augmented by Wikipedia.

Principle RT4

Description Reference Taxonomy Principle 4 (RT4) is that related terms SHOULD be listed under "Related Terms:" in the element description.

Rational This is best practice. It assists term discovery when alternative terms are searched for in the taxonomy.

1. "Related Terms:" MUST be used if a name changes, for instance as per principle RT1 (RT1B) 2. "Related Terms:" SHOULD be used if there is an alternative industry term.

Exceptions Where terms have not been revised, or are not new, "Related Terms:" MAY be missing in the v3.2 version of the taxonomy due to time constraints.

Principle RT5

Description Reference Taxonomy Principle 5 (RT5) is that element GUID's, and Element Taxonomy ID's, SHOULD be consistent across versions of the taxonomy.

Rational This is good practice. It assists the user manage change between versions.

1. In Spark EA models the GUIDS for an element MUST not be changed where the element is otherwise the same, even if the name has changed, but has the same meaning, or the ID has had to change due to levelling. This means elements in models can be updated to reflect new version names and descriptions while preserving any relationships established by the user.

2. ID's MUST NOT be reused for another element, when an element is removed from the taxonomy, or moved to another part of the taxonomy for levelling purposes. This avoids confusion where comparing across different versions.

Exceptions 1. Elements ID's may change where we need to re-level a taxonomy. However element ID's will not be re-used from version 3.2 onwards. 2. Element ID's MAY be re-used to correct past errors in the taxonomy where elements may be incorrectly placed due to an ID error.

Related Term: Urban and Regional planning, Regional Planning, Town Planning, City Planning, Rural Planning, Civic Management [Previous name]

B4.01.01 Planning Permission Planning permission or developmental approval refers to the approval needed for construction or expansion (including significant renovation). It is usually given in the form of a building permit (or construction permit). Generally, the new construction must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with national, regional, and local building codes. Planning is also dependent on the site's zone, for example, one cannot obtain permission to build a nightclub in an area where it is inappropriate, such as a high-density suburb.[3][4] Failure to obtain a permit can result in fines, penalties, and demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot be made to meet code. House building permits, for example, are subject to local housing statutes. The criteria for planning permission are a part of urban planning and construction law, and are usually managed by town planners employed by local governments.

Narrower Term: Building Permit.

B4.01.02 Zoning Areas of land are divided by appropriate authorities into zones within which various uses are permitted. Thus, zoning is a technique of land-use planning as a tool of urban planning used by local governments in most developed countries.

Developing a good relationship with the public is essential for brand management. Tangible elements of brand management include the products and services the organisation provides. The intangible elements are the experience that the customer has with the brand, and the relationship with the organisation. A brand manager oversees all of these things.

B5.10.02 Communication Planning Communication planning is the art and science of reaching target audiences using different communication channels such as advertising, public relations, experiences or direct mail for example. It is concerned with deciding who to target, when, with what message and how. The communication plan serves as a guide to the communication and sponsorship efforts. It is a living and working document and is updated periodically as audience needs change. It explains how to convey the right message, from the right communicator, to the right audience, through the right channel, at the right time. It addresses the six basic elements of communications: communicator, message, communication channel, feedback mechanism, receiver/audience, and time frame.

A communication plan Includes: - Who - the target audiences - What - the key messages that are trying to be articulated - When - timing, it will specify the appropriate time of delivery for each message - Why - the desired outcomes - How - the communication vehicle (how the message will be delivered) - Whom - the sender (determining who will deliver the information and how he or she is chosen)

B5.10.03 Communication Design Communication design is a mixed discipline between design and information-development which is concerned with how media intermission such as printed, crafted, electronic media or presentations communicates with people. A communication design approach is not only concerned with developing the message aside from the aesthetics in media, but also with creating new media channels to ensure the message reaches the target audience. Some designers use graphic design and communication design interchangeably due to overlapping skills.

Communication design can also refer to a systems-based approach, in which the totality of media and messages within a culture or organization are designed as a single integrated process rather than a series of discrete efforts. This is done through communication channels that aim to inform and attract the attention of the people you are focusing your skills on. Design skills must be tailored to fit to different cultures of people, while maintaining pleasurable visual design. These are all important pieces of information to add to a media communications kit to get the best results.

Communication design seeks to attract, inspire, create desires and motivate the people to respond to messages, with a view to making a favourable impact to the bottom line of the commissioning body, which can be either to build a brand, move sales, or for humanitarian purposes. Its process involves strategic business thinking, using market research, creativity, and problem-solving. Communications designers translate ideas and information through a variety of media. Their particular talent lies not only in the traditional skills of the hand, but also in their ability to think strategically in design and marketing terms, in order to establish credibility through the communication.
