An architectural style that supports service orientation. It has the following distinctive features:
It is based on the design of the services – which mirror real-world business activities – comprising the enterprise (or inter-enterprise) business processes.
Service representation utilizes business descriptions to provide context (i.e., business process, goal, rule, policy, service interface, and service component) and implements services using service orchestration.
It places unique requirements on the infrastructure – it is recommended that implementations use open standards to realize interoperability and location transparency.
Implementations are environment- specific – they are constrained or enabled by context and must be described within that context.
It requires strong governance of service representation and implementation.
It requires a “Litmus Test”, which determines a “good service”.
