Vertical Vocabularies

The core ALF team met today to determine the groupings of Vertical Vocabularies that need to be defined in order to create a sparse set of the most common objects, attributes, domains and events that are found in the Application Lifecycle Management arena.

We selected, as the first pass, the following list:

· Security Management
· Identity Management
· Project Portfolio Management
· Customer Relationship Management
· Service Desk/Help Desk Management
· Issue Management (also Issue and Defect Tracking)
· Operational Process Management (also Request Management)
· Project Management
· Requirements Management
· Prototyping and Application Visualization
· Modeling
· Configuration Management (includes Release Management)
· Change Management
· Version Management
· Build Management
· Test Management (may also include Quality Assurance Vocabulary
· Deployment
· System Management
· Content Management

The next step is to identify and recruit vendors, open source projects, professional groups and consumers with domain expertise in these areas to come and lead the development of the vocabulary.

Other domains may be added as the project progresses.
