Yoma Task Force Challenge

• Huge Task: Deliver a V1 GF for layers 2-4 by end September 2021
• Governance as functionality
• Governance for risk mitigation
• Machine Readable Governance requirement
• Dynamic business requirements
• Principle 0: Youth Agency & Empowerment
• Global / Local Scale/Extension Challenge
• Migrate to an interim, then operational legal handovers

Meta Model

L

L

i

Domain-specific modeling (DSM)

• Captures domain knowledge (as opposed to code)
• Uses domain abstractions
• Applies domain concepts and rules as modeling constructs
• Narrow down the design space
• Leverages domain expertise to build automation (code generators)

Ecosystem Governance Compass (EGC)

• After the first development phase, the tool was evaluated by 37 SSI ecosystems designed by the students of an M.Sc. course at the University of Jyväskylä
• Currently it is in the second iteration phase, with the help of YOMA
• In its current form, the language is a planning and collaboration tool -> we would like to develop it further and transform it into a real governance tool
• Code generators allows us to generate code from the model
• That is, people without technical knowledge could use this tool to design and automatize governance rules in the ecosystem
• For this, we need the community’s help

Yoma Model - How we used EGC

• Understanding scope, functional entities and the roles/actors and incentives
• Identifying gaps and questions for the Task Force & other teams in the Yoma program
• Understanding the importance of mental models & terminology as a foundation for governance and the differences between e.g. eSSIF, Sovrin, ToIP
• Starting to understand how risk could be modelled in EGC
• Knowledge capture & storage and documentation as an asset for the Yoma program & open source community
• In the Lean Governance model, the EGC remains the key enterprise architecture tool for enabling iterative development of the GF as a functional component of the service, it becomes our architectural framework for governance design, development and operations in the future.

Insights gained from modeling the YOMA ecosystem contributes to both theory and practice

• Wonderful experience in evaluating the tool and developing it further based on a real use case -> the experience and knowledge gathered in modeling the YOMA ecosystem is invaluable for further research
• We aim to publish the results in scientific channels together with YOMA contributors
• Risk is a key element in governance and serves both as a driver and barrier of adoption
• We were rethinking the associations between the elements in EGC
• The diversity of mental models is a challenge in developing domain-specific languages
• Many other elements could be added, but the language should stay simple enough

Governance as Risk Mitigation

• Prioritising Risk Assessment up front in the process as a means for identifying areas of focus for the governance framework
• Defining scope pertaining to digital governance that is both ‘inside SSI’ and outside
• Hypothesis that in the Lean approach to governance, EITHER risk is its own concept layer (alongside business, tech, governance & legal) OR risk is an element in each layer?
• Testing the ToIP Trust Assurance Process
