Enterprise Content Integration (ECI)


Glossary

Web Services – – Open standards UDDI, WSDL, SOAP, and HTTP. – All are managed by standard bodies like W3C and OASIS.

Information Architecture– Is the practice of structuring information (structure and useful

information is content)

Enterprise Information Integration (EII)– Enterprise Content Integration is practically interchangeable

with EII but when we refer to ECI know that the solution is content driven not just Information driven.


The FEA Reference Models

We are focusing in on the DRM and TRM BPM, SRM, and TRM are taxonomies


BRM

Models specific business functions of the government

BRM is not an org chart

BRM is functional based

cache.– ETL– Synchronized (i.e.. rsync)– FTP

Not the data source of record for the content that it serves

Focus’s on high performance production delivery of content.

ESB Use Case

1. A partnering company sends an order to the ESB.2. The ESB’s Event Endpoint receives it and decrypts the

message3. The endpoint’s pipe then authenticates the message producer

via WS-Security policies4. Then a filter inspects the content and figures out there is a

registered pipeline for this type message and forwards the message.

5. The second pipeline’s first filter translates customer supply codes to out companies supply codes

6. The pipe’s next filter adds metadata to the message7. The pipe’s last filter sends the message to the order fulfillment

endpoint and consequently in the order fulfillment application


Case Study – USDA project

For many years several dispersant agencies have provided interrelated very detailed information.

Congress mandates to give the citizen a single website to view all the content.

50k + publications are released a year by these Agencies. 7 different websites contain silo’d query mechanism

– Utilizing similar but not the same search criteria values

Summary

Information Architecture is important in an ECI solution. Variety of Connectors (Clients) to Content Repositories Finer grain control of Content Caching

– Content abstracted from the repositories to extend capabilities of content production

Bridging– Unifying content repositories to the enterprise

Enterprise Service Bus– Connecting your Enterprise Application to your Enterprise

Content
