• University of Manchester

2
Overview

• What is the Innovation Base
• Archimate and the Innovation Base
• Modelling exercise
• The Innovation Base

3
What is the Innovation Base?

• A place
• For storing and sharing models
• Of any sort
• Formal or informal
• Image, description or model
• To help people model for themselves
• And
• To share knowledge and experience

4
What is the Innovation Base for?

• To help projects make their (modelling) outputs
  more useful
• To help programme managers understand their
  domains
• To help analysts in their work
• To support the e-Framework
• To support communities of practice
• To support interoperability and reuse

5
What is the Innovation Base for?

• To answer questions like
• Who is involved in student progression?
• Who requires training in new health and safety
  procedures?
• Which applications does the student record system
  interact with?
• Who uses the student record systems?
• Which SUMs support student registration?

Archimate and Innovation Base

• Creating and sharing our models of HEworld
• Hilary Dexter and Tom Franklin
• 19.5.2009

7
Benefits of having a knowledgebase for models of
HE world and all our stuff
There are benefits to both contributor and
consumer

• Making models brings clarity
• Exemplars to support new work
• Easy to find useful and interesting stuff
• Triggers for discussion
• Extends lifespan of outputs
• Eases project reporting
• Can re-visit and add to an area the kb will
  grow and evolve

8
Rightsizing the HeWorld Knowledgebase
Innovation Base (IB) is a simplified structure
derived from an HE domain model Peoples models
of things in HEworld are in UML, BPMN, Archimate,
free text, sketchesThese models will be kept in
IB
We need to

• Lower barriers to contribution and consumption
• Build modelling capability across the sector
• Avoid vocabulary and granularity issues
• Enable collection of usefully related materials

So we aggregate elements into more general
categoriesof stuff that people will produce
9
IB a smallish number of generous/inclusive
buckets
Application
10
Joining things up
We want to make our models of things like
business processes in such a way that we can make
use of others examples and share our outputs.
Which buckets do we need for modelling a business
process (and fitting it into an enterprise
architecture)?
11
Activity Model your process with IB cards
12
Guidelines for the activity

• We need to be able to talk to each other about
  our issues in a consistent way and know that we
  have a shared understanding of all the parts of a
  particular situation.
• Using 5 key questions we can look at our pieces
  of the larger HEsystem
• Where are we? (Domain and Organisation)
• Who is here? (Role)
• What are they doing and why? (Work and
  Motivation)
• What things do they use and produce? (Artefact)
• What controls their work? (Rule)
• Activity build your own business process
• We look for the concrete examples from our own
  areas and for the links between them.
