RE: [soa-rm-ra] Reference Artifacts (Guidance)

I guess I disagree with Joe on this because our intent is to understand and reuse hard thinking done by others, not to parrot someone's marketecture. I read the IONA paper among others you provided before and found it very thought provoking. It is comforting when others have the same thoughts and alternately provides me with a target strawman to crystalize my thoughts when they differ. WSA certainly has things worth considering and IEEE 1471 came up during my MITRE presentation.

I trust you are uploading the things you find most useful but when there are more than 2 or 3 things, I'm open to your opinion on what should be read first.

Thanks,

Ken

FWIW, Here are my thoughts on uploading and concentrating on any general SOA resources, as opposed to items specific to RA, which are 100% applicable to our work:

Uploading and reviewing/discussing general SOA resources from specific vendors could, I believe, provide an external perception that we are subscribing to those vendors' way of thinking about/architecting/designing/developing/implementing SOA. It also excludes the work of other vendors/companies who have good thinking regarding SOA, which may not be fair - and of course we can't go so far as to uploading the work of 10,000 vendors/companies.

My recommendation would be to keep the repository specific only to reference architecture-related materials.

Subject: [soa-rm-ra] Reference Artifacts (Guidance)

Colleagues,

Because we're in the throws of mapping out the development of the SOA-RA, I've uploaded some reference material to our SOA-RA SC document repository. These are some artifacts that I've found useful in the past with respect to reference architectures and architecting SOA in general. The WS references are included because they cover additional relevant concepts independent of WS technologies.

The following artifacts were uploaded to our Kavi site in the "Documents" space.

Under the "Standards" collection:

1. ANSI/IEEE 1471-2000 Std.

2. W3C WSA

Under the "Presentations and general information" collection:

1. White paper on architecting Web services by Mike Rosen and John Parodi of IONA Technologies (lots of good guidance on SOA in general that is not specific to Web services)

2. IBM Slide on relationship of Reference Architectures to architecture patterns and design patterns

3. IBM Rational white paper on using SOA and CBD (Component Based Development)

4. IONA white paper on Web services and Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)

5. Rational Edge white paper on the service-oriented architect

6. Reference Model - Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) summary

7. RM-ODP Introduction

8. CCSDS RA for Space Data Systems (RASDS)

9. Security Model for SOA Presentation - M. Pajevski, JPL

These resource artifacts are accessible via the following URL:
