The meeting failed to gain quorum possibly attributed to 
teleconference difficulties. By consensus, the group in attendance chose to 
continue to discuss action item status, updates from the Framework TC and the 
use case documents. The Framework TC is currently completing a high-level review 
of DCML & ITIL-CMDB and is looking at use cases that will illustrate this 
relationship. The Framework TC currently has a reference document currently in 
review explaining the role and interactions between DCML & ITIL-CMDB. 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dcml-frame/document.php?document_id=12003

The group is also addressing OWF/RDF by approaching a narrow target 
and implementing DCML using both options (OWL/UML). 

 

The Application/Services Use Case document is still in review with 
some questions arising from the ability to understand how DCML plans to 
integrate ITIL into some of the use cases. Each participant of the TC will go 
through the use case document for the purpose of completing a detailed review of 
the use cases during the next meeting

 

ACTION ITEM: ALL – Review use case document in preparation for 
detailed review April 11, 2005. 

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dcml-appserv/document.php?document_id=11844

 

As a reminder – the Application Services TC will be having a 
face-to-face session at the Oasis Symposium Wednesday April 27, 2005. To 
register for the event, please visit http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2005/registration.php 

 

ACTION ITEM: Sarah to set up a ballot item to determine how many will 
be able to participate at the face-to-face session

 

10:53am adjourn. 

 

 Review of the action items resulted in the following updates: 

 

AI-0013: 

Work with Member Section, OASIS Board, and Marketing TC (as well as other 
TCs) on the completion of the necessary relationships with ITSMF, COBIT, COSO, 
ISACA, and other associated IT Services Management bodies on our ITIL-mapping 
strategies, in order to be legally and inter-body approved in our strategies. We 
need a confirmation on this in order to proceed. Action Item is for J. Darrel 
Thomas and Sarah Barbuscia, Robin and David Basham.

Status: 
Currently in 
process

AI-0012: 
Review the ITIL CMDB/CI descriptions in order to 
familiarize ourselves with our starting target. David Basham will provide links 
to the group for this review. We will discuss at our next teleconference. 

Status: Still open – 
after clarification of the action item, David will be following up for closure. 

AI-0011: 
Upon corporate approval, Bill Rehm will provide a 
submission of the EDS reference architecture CMDB and example CIs for usage as 
starting points within the work. This may be leverageable from both the 
Apps/Services TC and Framework TC. Action Item is assigned to Bill Rehm. 

Status: Still pending

AI-0010: 
Provide Framework 
use-cases, Apps/Services Use Cases, and newly created ITIL/CMDB/CI Use cases to 
the team for review and for comment/update at our next meeting. Action Item is 
assigned to J. Darrel Thomas 

Status: Action Completed – review still 
outstanding

 

AI-0009: 
Upon OASIS verification, we will acquire the CIM 
element descriptions for review for insertion and usage within our Schema and 
Apps/Services model, focusing on reuse and element to process to service mapping 
that DCML is targeted at addressing. These submissions will be ferreted by J. 
Darrel Thomas, David Basham, and Bill Rehm. 
Status: 
Completed

 

AI-0008:  
The Runbook documents need to be 
mapped to the usage with ITIL and DCML. David will work with Robin to make the 
references, but Fred didn't have linkages to the documents that are a part of 
this area. I'm resending the links to the group for additional review at our 
next meeting.

Status: Action Completed – review still in 
process

AI-0007: 
To aid in the formalization work, documents on 
the RDF/OWL usage from the previous DCML organization would be beneficial. These 
documents were created in the DCML Organization prior to its merger with OASIS, 
but are available for review by the team, particularly aiding Fred and Andre's 
discussions on the Framework TC. J. Darrel Thomas has the Action Item. 

Status: Action Completed
