RE: [soa-rm-comment] Possible additional to the reference model

[Ken Laskey <klaskey@mitre.org>]

Morten,

Thank you for your comments.  For the reference model, we tried to keep it
to the minimal set of concept and relationships, with an emphasis on
minimal.  However,  the follow-on work, the SOA Reference Architecture
Foundation, has an entire architectural view on what we call the SOA
ecosystem.  In this, the consumer is very prominent but even extended beyond
your points to include the concepts of actors, participants, and
stakeholders.  Two public reviews have previously been made available and,
in April, we are hoping to approve a third review with a revised ecosystem
view.  Please keep an eye open for this and we'll look forward to your
further comments.

Ken

Subject: [soa-rm-comment] Possible additional to the reference model

Hello,

Thanks for the writeup.

I think there is two things that is not covered by the reference model, 
that I think is within the scope of the Architecture of SOA.

Consumers: Mentioned in many places. But not placed in any of the 
concept-ellipses. Why I think it is important for SOA - You need to take 
into account who is the target. And you might loose control of usage of 
your system. ( might be categorized under the policy ) - One of my 
recommendations is always to have some kind of authentication, even if 
your service is completely free.

Further: Services tend to grow, great services grows even faster. And 
yes x in XML is for extendability :) But you need to think this into our 
architecture. At some point you might need to break backwards 
compatibility with older version...

That was my two cents,
