In developing the e-Framework it has been of primary concern to focus on the definitions and descriptions of Service Usage Models and services described through their service components, i.e., Service Genres, Service Expressions and CORE SUMs. Including an overall presentation of the components of the e‑Framework using the developed terminology and concepts (a formal model), including an outline of how to develop and document the technical components of the e‑Framework (Service Usage Models, Service Genres, Service Expressions) and how to design, implement and deploy applications and systems that are built using the components of the e‑Framework.
Key terminology used in the e-Framework is documented on the website in the Glossary.
The core components and concepts of the e-Framework are documented in a separate document that documents the technical components of the e‑Framework. It is an edited extract of work commissioned by the e-Framework Partners and is intended to serve as an interim technical guide until the website is further developed with examples and supporting documentation. It is not intended to be a primary reference and is published in its current state as a means of providing some technical context to the initiative. This document represents a work-in-progress primarily intended to inform the development of the e-Framework knowledgebase. In time it will be superceded by other documentation available on the website.
The Core Components and Concepts document is available as a pdf.
