IBM has some proprietary plug-ins available for its Rational Method Composer but they are based upon the proprietary RUP process model. The small open source agile models available don't scale well to large programs. Many IEEE/ISO/SAE/CMMI and other standards models have not been modeled. The potential here is vast if IBM markets EPF/RMC to the standards organizations who already sell representations of their standards.
Static page generation is useful, as a reference site, but additional effort has to occur 1) to move towards process orchestration (based upon [[SPEM]] models) and 2) provision of training resources (potentially by including SCORM/IMS modes for export). Process training, within organizations, is of paramount concern and the amount of rework to push EPF output into [[SCORM]]/[[IMS]] ready structures for presentation in an eLearning environments (on top of the initial process authoring effort) is prohibitive. Model transformation technology may help here.
Of particular note is the fact that OMG appears to lag behind the standards organizations in the harmonizing efforts that have been going on within the software engineering world. For example, ISO/IEC IEEE/EIA 12207 has a model of software engineering process that is not reflected in the OMG model (process, activity, task) and consequently needs a mapping into the SPEM model.
