''<< Back to [[Baseline_Functional_Requirements_v1.0|Baseline Functional Requirements Index]]''

== INTEROP-BP-D.    RECOMMENDED PROCESS MODELS ==
Entities SHOULD employ stable, published common formal models and business processes for digital identity management functions, and SHOULD use public open [[IDEF Glossary STANDARDS|STANDARDS]] for those models and processes where such STANDARDS have been established and are appropriate for those functions.

=== SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE ===
This best practice recommends the adoption of standardized, modeled processes for [[IDEF Glossary DIGITAL IDENTITY MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS|digital identity management functions]], so that participants in an identity ecosystem (including [[IDEF Glossary USERS|USERS]], [[IDEF Glossary IDENTITY PROVIDERS|IDENTITY-PROVIDERS]],
and [[IDEF Glossary RELYING PARTIES|RELYING-PARTIES]]) can have reasonable and common understanding of identity
exchanges being conducted among communities of interest and identity federations. This best practice
and potential future requirement anticipates the standardization of these functions and processes,
eventually through standard development organizations and adoption by the IDESG.

Please note, this recommendation INTEROP-BP-D seeks adoption of formal models and formally
defined business processes, in contrast to the use of on-the-wire data exchange standards
recommended in [[Interop Best Practice B|INTEROP-BP-B (RECOMMENDED EXCHANGE STANDARDS)]]. For more on the distinctions among business process layers, data
structure layers (in the "business operational view") and data exchange methods and formats (in the
"functional service view"), see ISO/IEC 14661 (2010).
