This repository will be the home for all of the functional defintions and use cases that will be explored and validated as part of the pilot phase for the new 'Chain to Ecosystem' pilot during 2020.
The initial document that outlined the approach can still be found here:
SEM - Moving from a Chain to an Ecosystem
This repository is split into the documents that provide a functional overview for how the ecosystem works, with definitions of the high level services, actors, data entities and use cases.
The initial intent is to guide the prototype / validation stage of the process, and keep the work streams aligned through the summer of 2020. This repository may evolve into the basis for the standards related to the services and APIs.
We are using Github to ensure that all work and discussions are held completely in the open, and that the source code for any example services or data exchanges are held and versioned alongside any of the functional documentation.
The scope of the pilot in June 2020 is focusing on the use cases OA.3 and OA.4 (ordering and access), the other use cases will be explored in further phases.
| Documents | description |
|---|---|
| Services | Description of the services that can be provided by any or all participants. |
| Roles | Description of roles that exist to perform actions in and across the services. |
| Use Cases | Description of high level processes, and then smaller steps within a process to allow for functional and technical design, testing and validation. |
| Entities | Overview of data entities exchanged as part of the use cases. |
| Glossary | Definition of key terms. |
The working practices of this group will follow typical processes of technology standard groups and open source projects.
