Re: [ebsoa] SOA BUP (was - Quick answers to David's questions)

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@adobe.com>]

+1 - I believe that having Business Use Patterns is important in order 
to map those to the SOA patterns.  That is the differentiator that our 
architecture is specific to those business patterns.  

The problem will be deciding what level of granularity to go into each 
business pattern or how many we do.  Perhaps we embrace a methodology 
for allowing people to define their own patterns.  It would be arrogant 
of us to think that we, as a group, could define all the patterns that 
would ever be used by business on a global scale IMO.

The best course of action will be to probably black box the methodology 
for now, just say there is one, that allow people to capture the 
business lexicon in a series of artifacts, some of which should be BUP??

I know that BCM, UMM, RUP and other methodologies have driven at this 
for years.

Comments?

Two reminder as chair:

First - let's make sure we don;t cc people who we know are on the list. 
 We only needone copy each.

Second - we should try to keep the thread titles specific to the 
content.  I changed this one to SOA BUP.

Thanks
