Purpose
The purpose of the GSWG Governance Architecture Task Force (GATF) is to draft a TSS (ToIP Standard Specification) that defines the standard requirements for all ToIP-compatible governance frameworks regardless of their level in the ToIP stack. Note: this is the counterpart to the ToIP Technical Architecture TSS deliverable from the TSWG Technology Architecture Task Force.
Deliverables
- ToIP Governance Architecture Specification—a specification of the overall layer-independent requirements that any ToIP-compliant governance framework must meet.
- ToIP Governance Metamodel—a specification for the standard model for ToIP-compliant governance frameworks.
- ToIP Governance Metamodel Companion Guide—the "instruction manual" for the above.
- ToIP Governance Framework Matrix—a tool for governing authorities to plan and organize their work on developing their own ToIP-compliant governance frameworks.
- ToIP Governance Framework Matrix Companion Guide—the "instruction manual" for the above.
