I alerted you to the new working group set up by the European Commission to define a Public Service.
I attended the first meeting on this group this week and it seems the first activity is to produce a UML metamodel of a service.
Attached is the first attempt of this and you should also be able to see this and the work of the group at https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/core_public_service/document/conceptual-model-v-002 as I think it is publically available.
Having produced the model they then intend to define the vocabulary to support it.
My view of the relevance of this work to the TGF is that it essentially could be the whole model, or a significant part of, what we have in mind for the TGF Reference Model and Core Vocabulary, ie our Core Pattern No 4.
To that end I would like us to make a significant contribution to the work of this group and then look to agree with the EC how they can contribute their model to us for inclusion in the TGF.
I would therefore ask you to spend a few minutes reviewing this model and let me have any comments that I can feed back into the group.
My initial view is that this model is a good start and perhaps the only major omission is something around Benefits Realisation but I'm sure you guys will spot other deficiencies.
Comments by the end of next week, ie 14th, would be appreciated so I can feed them into the next meeting.
Regards John
