*Action Items*
Jim Phelps and Jeremiah Adams will discuss the potential Face2Face in Bo= ulder (piggy-backing on the CSG meeting January 7-9 2009).
Paul Hobson will send documentation about the JISC/ArchiMate project to = the email list.
Mike Fary and Klara Jelinkova will develop examples of what a "5" respon= se would look like on the data management survey question scale of 1-10.
ITANA members are asked to provide comments and suggestions on the data = management survey by editing the Word document (with Track Changes turned o= n) and sending it to Klara Jelinkova and Mike Fury. Comments should be sent= by August 14.

*Future Face2Face Meetings*
Following up on the concept of a Face2Face prior to the next CSG meeting= , Jeremiah Adams has reserved space at the University of Colorado-Boulder J= anuary 6, 2009 (the Tuesday prior to the CSG meeting). Should this ITANA me= eting take place, his department will provide the room, as well as breakfas= t and lunch, for up to 60 people. Jeremiah and Jim will discuss this.
Jim Phelps talked with Ann West about a survey of ITANA constituents to = determine which other organizations they belong to, as a way to determine t= he best place to piggy-back a F2F.
*ArchiMate*
Paul Hobson from Cardiff University provided an overview of ArchiMate. P= aul just completed a two-day training program on this enterprise architectu= re modeling language.
According to the website (archimate.org), ArchiMate is The Open Group's = open and independent modeling language for enterprise architecture, support= ed by different tool vendors and consulting firms. ArchiMate provides instr= uments to support enterprise architects in describing, analyzing and visual= izing the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. Archi= Mate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation= of business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT sy= stems, and technical infrastructure.
The training that Paul attended was partly on ArchiMate and partly on Bi= ZZdesign Architect, a software tool provided by BiZZdesign, a company that = helps organizations analyze, improve and redesign processes.
Cardiff is one of three universities - the others are Kings College of L= ondon and Liverpool John Moores University - conducing a 12-month project f= unded by JISC. The project is intended to find ways to simplify EA modeling= . JISC plans to publish case studies based on the work done by these three = universities. AI Paul has some docum= entation about the JISC project and will send it to the email list.
Each institution involved it this project will use ArchiMate in differen= t areas of the university. For example, Cardiff is focusing on internal adm= inistrative functions, which has many challenges in terms of reducing cost = and complexity.
This is not intended to be a centralized modeling process. The idea is t= o provide tools that can be used by those who are not full-time architects = to generate a common architecture map. For example, some of those attending= the Cardiff training were not from an IT background. Cardiff plans to have= someone become responsible for each part of the architecture and anticipat= es as many as 40-45 people involved.
Besides modeling processes, ArchiMate also allows impact analysis and ro= admap analysis. For example, an institution planning to change its customer= management tool can put that into the model and see visualizations of the = impact on the rest of the system. Cardiff believes this will be particularl= y useful for those involved in project and program management.
*Data Management Survey*
Mike Fury and Klara Jelinkova reported on the draft of the data manageme= nt survey that was distributed to the email list. The survey covers nine as= pects of data management and is intended to provide an overview of the land= scape of data management. It will also include some sort of open-ended ques= tions where respondents can provide comments.
Respondents will be asked to rank each aspect on a scale of 1 to 10. The= survey instrument will include examples of what a "1" response means and w= hat a "10" response means. It was suggested that the survey also include a = description of a "5" response. AI Mi= ke and Klara will work on that.
The draft survey that was distributed is mostly complete, although the "= Document management or Content management" section still needs some work. O= nce the ITANA group provides feedback, the survey instrument will be distri= buted to the EDUCAUSE data management constituent group. AI ITANA members are asked to provide comments and sug= gestions on the survey by editing the Word document (with Track Changes tur= ned on) and sending it to Klara and Mike.
