| | Cover Pages: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) |
 | | The TC proposers believe that "Service Oriented Architecture" (SOA) as a term "is being used in an increasing number of contexts and specific technology implementations, sometimes with differing or conflicting understandings of implicit terminology and components. |
 | | Abstract for Working Draft -08 of the TC's Reference Model for Service Oriented Architectures document, published September 09, 2005: "This Service Oriented Architecture Reference Model is an abstract framework for understanding significant entities and relationships amongst them within a service-oriented environment, and for the development of consistent standards or specifications supporting that environment. |
 | | SOA does not have a standardized, reference model yet; however, implementations share the main concepts of services, service descriptions, advertising and discovery, the specification of an associated data model, and the use of a service contract. |
