SOA Best Practices: Concrete Examples, Working Implementations
Jun. 5, 2006 11:00 AM
In planning and building SOA, concrete examples often are useful: SOA designers, vendors and users can reference a wealth of abstract guidelines, descriptions of functional layers and sets of specific standards, or software that fulfill SOA requirements. However, often there is a shortage of clear, demonstrable examples of working implementations, based on real needs and requirements, that can be used as best practices reference to kickstart implementation projects and to compare implementations. One way to encourage these examples is to supply an archetypal "blueprint" set of business requirements and functions that can be fulfilled by SOA methods.
