Subject: RE: [soa-blueprints] To Proceed - Best Practices
Don, I'm not convinced that we agreed on the role or place for best practices as part of the Blueprints TC. I reviewed the charter of this TC (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/soa-blueprints/charter.php) and it made no mention of best practices. Not that I think it is a bad idea. The notion of creating best practices could be of value. However, we need to determine whether this TC will focus it's efforts on only creating SOA blueprints (+ anti-patterns) or whether best practices will be included in these efforts. I think one of the dangers of trying to focus our efforts on best practices, is that we might enlarge the scope to the extent that it will be difficult to focus and get some real blueprint work done. It is definitely a topic worth discussing.

In addition, I believe that one of the goals that was agreed upon is developing best practices, BP. These could be partitioned into the following categories: - General BP, which would be applicable to all domains - Domain Specific BP, where the domains might be: - Financial - Manufacturing - Retail - Professional services - Business services (not SOA services) - Media & Marketing - Education - Government Each of these could be further subdivided, but too fine a subdivision, IMHO, is not in the spirit of a specification. If we could come up with best practices at this level we would deliver information that would be useful to a broad category of people. We could point out significant exceptions or additions for subcategories of the chosen domains. Although the primary effort would be to generalize the BP as much as feasible while still making them useful.
