This is likely to be very relevant to TDWG.

The OASIS Service Oriented Architecture Reference Model (SOA-RM) TC has recently approved the following specification as a Committee Draft and approved the package for public review:
Reference Architecture for Service Oriented Architecture Version 1.0
The public review starts today, 9 May 2008, and ends 8 July 2008. This is an open invitation to comment. We strongly encourage feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of OASIS work.

Abstract: "This document specifies the OASIS Reference Architecture for Service Oriented Architecture. It follows from the concepts and relationships defined in the OASIS Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture. While it remains abstract in nature, the current document describes one possible template upon which a SOA concrete architecture can be built.
"Our focus in this architecture is on an approach to integrating business with the information technology needed to support it. The issues involved with integration are always present, but, we find, are thrown into clear focus when business integration involves crossing ownership boundaries.
...
"The Reference Architecture has three main views: the Business via Service view which lays the foundation for conducting business in the context of Service Oriented Architecture; the Realizing Services view which addresses the requirements for constructing a Service Oriented Architecture; and the Owning Service Oriented Architecture view which focuses on the governance and management of SOA-based systems."
OASIS and the Service Oriented Architecture Reference Model (SOA-RM) TC welcome your comments.
