| Abstract: |
In some ways Service Oriented Architecture is an evolutionary approach, in others it is quite radical. As your organization starts to think seriously about SOA, you might naturally turn to established architecture frameworks such as TOGAF and Zachman. In this report we assess their support for service orientation and provide guidance on where these frameworks might be helpful, and critically - where they are plain dangerous.

| Backgrounder: |
The importance of IT architecture is broadly accepted across the IT industry and beyond. Many IT practitioners have the word “architect” in their job title. The US Clinger-Cohen Act (1996) mandates that all IT evaluation and acquisition within US Government shall be properly architected. But just what does properly architected mean in today's service oriented world?
And can architects turn to established sources of architectural advice such as the Open Group or Zachman and expect to find practice guidance that is service oriented?
