| Abstract: |
The enterprise architecture framework is widely used as a mechanism to manage the development and evolution of architectures. In this article we introduce a generic approach to integrating the SOA framework requirements with existing frameworks. |
| Backgrounder: |
Conventional enterprise architecture describes an information system in terms of structural properties of the system. The architecture identifies components, building blocks, standards, policies and products which form the basis for planning and guiding systems delivery.
Not surprisingly SOA introduces change to the structural properties. There are new and different building blocks, standards etc. These don’t necessarily replace the existing properties, mostly they complement and extend. However there are also areas where fundamental differences apply, for example in areas such as scoping and applicability, security models, reuse policies and so on, and we need a delta framework that combines the old and new in a cohesive whole.
In this article we will provide an introduction to the SOA Framework and point out areas where differences exist, and anticipate this will provide a useful guide for architects to update their existing framework. |
