Other Mapping Considerations

BIAN currently maintains a comprehensive UML metamodel of its designs. This is an extension of the established ISO20022 model. The BIAN metamodel is fully documented in the BIAN MetaModel guide that is available on http://www.bian.org . The BIAN model is maintained in a UML based repository that allows members to download the content into their own tooling environments with limited adaptations.

BIAN’s policy is to align with prevailing industry standards where possible in order to avoid creating duplicate/competing definitions. This includes adopting naming conventions/notations and aligning with the most popular tooling when this is possible. Where there are competing standards BIAN will attempt to reconcile or at least document incompatibilities’.

BIAN is currently evaluating the following standards and supporting tooling/techniques to improve alignment:

  • Open Notations: SoaML & Archemate
  • Open reference models: TOGAF, SOA, RefArch, BIZBOK
  • Vocabularies/Ontologies: ISO20022, OMG/FIBO.

Others may be added to the list based on the recommendation of BIAN members.
