This group is aimed at Architects and Senior Management to share experiences and learn about developing and rolling out Canonical Models in their Enterprise.

A variety of organizations that span many different sectors share a surprisingly common set of challenges including: defining what a Canonical Model is and why a model is needed; how to get to a Canonical Model; how to ensure the Model is adopted; how to get buy-in to your Canonical Model strategy; how to incorporate metadata and vocabulary; what tools are available; how the Canonical Model and tooling fits into existing systems

This is a Professional Group to enable informal networking and discussion on the use of Canonical Model Management and Adoption.

The inaugural Canonical Model Management Forum was hosted by the IRS and sponsored by DigitalML, the creators of igniteXML. « less
