I just got pinged on twitter by Patrick Stingley, CTO of the Bureau of Land Management, (www.twitter.com/patrickstingley) in regards to work he is doing in mapping services associated with the cloud to the US Federal EA/SRM. He is currently looking for input and suggestions on his first draft.
According to Stingley's post he is trying to link his cloud model to the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework. He goes on to say "I'm thinking that this framework should fit somewhere in between the Service Component Reference Model (SRM) and the Technical Reference Model (TRM). It's not a clean mapping to the SRM, but some things do match up. In the diagram --- the services in the SRM are called out by the SRM reference number. I have put asterisks by the one's I'm not sure of and I the ones with the black backgrounds are the "holes" in the SRM, where services exist, but are not addressed in the SRM."
Stingley has setup a site for comments.
