Explanatory Remarks: SOA Reference Model and ReferenceArchitecture URLs

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Everyone,

The Reference Model is a high level, abstract specification that 
specifies what the SOA Reference Model is and the components that 
constitute the model. Using the metaphor of a brick and mortar 
architecture, the Reference Model defines what needs to be included 
in a set of blueprints, such as what constitutes a single-family 
detached residence, like a house, and what constitutes an office 
building, sports stadium, etc.

The Reference Architecture represents the blueprints an architect 
drafts for a client. Once such a blueprint or Reference Architecture 
is approved by a client, the blueprints are handed off to the 
contractor to purchase materials, schedule work, and actually build 
the structure.

Best Regards,
Rex Brooks
