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
