Tracing the Projects
07 July 2004 FSS Project 12
The domain user requirements will be served by an architecture that is:
•Service Oriented•Component Based
and by processes that are: •Requirements Driven•Evaluation Steered
The Connected World MindsetNeed to understand the problem domain that encompasses the three frameworks and create a unifying architecture. This demands a model driven approach

What does this mean for JISC?
07 July 2004 FSS Project 16
JISC Frameworks Study: Scope
• Design a Unifying Framework– Map to existing JISC frameworks: e-Research, e-Learning
and Information Environment
• Collect representative data on range of JISC services, programmes and projects– Load into unified framework based repository
• Propose a toolset and process to support JISC planning
• Develop an approach and conceptual design rather than content

The Repository Layers
Layering represents an ordered grouping of
functionality, with the application-specific located in
the upper layers, functionality that spans application
domains in the middle layers, and functionality
specific to the deployment environment at the lower
layers.
The number and composition of layers is
dependent upon the complexity of both the problem
domain and the solution space. For example, the
collection of technical patterns, utilities and
mechanisms is separated out as a layer.
Based on RUP Guidelines
