Conceptual model for SOA

Just read a very interesting blog post from Nick Malik, where in he provides a Common Conceptual Model for SOA. I was bowled over by the simplicity of the language and diagram. So easy to explain to a fellow architect embarking on a design assignment based on SOA.



The most important things to work on in a SOA project:
  • Canonical Data Model

  • Canonical Message Model (Shared Message Contract)

  • Service Interfaces

  • Business Event Taxanomy
I have seen that if you get these fundamentals right during the design process, then building scalable SOA based systems is a lot easier.
