SOA Blueprint (Strategic Use of IT) 

Reference Architecture

Reference to a list of various published SOA Reference Architectures with comments wherever we have some.

  • SOA Practitioners: Reference Architecture

    The SOA Reerence Architecture defines an ideal target architecture for an enterprise or LOB. Some also refer to this as the "future state" or "future vision" of the enterprise.  The SOA Reference Archtiecture is key to constructing a roadmap from the current state to the target state.

    This is publised as one of the SOA Practitioners Gude.

  • The Open Group: SOA Reference Architecture

    The SOA Working group within The Open Group is working on this and shall be available here when complete.  Members could login to particiate and/or review the working documents.

  • OASIS: SOA Reference Model

    The OASIS Service Oriented Architecture TC will develop a Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture. This is primarily to address SOA being used as a term in an increasing number of contexts and specific technology implementations. Sometimes, the term is used with differing - or worse, conflicting - understandings of implicit terminology and components. This Reference Model is being developed to encourage the continued growth of different and specialized SOA implementations whilst preserving a common layer of understanding about what SOA is.
