Reasoning about SOA statements

While talking about Service design and implementation with Stefan some time ago, I felt the urge to reason about his 10 SOA statements, which he published half a year ago. As he pointed out himself the most interesting points are presented, discussed respectively, in the accompanying comments.

I will present my musings on the following statements within the next weeks (that’s the plan …):

  1. The word meanings of the three components within “Service-oriented architecture” in order to arrive at an understanding what Services and SOA are all about. In a way I will be referring to statements 1, 7 and 10.
  2. Statement 5 and 6, which discuss the relationship between SOA and Web services.
  3. Statement 3 in respect of the meaning of messages and documents and their relationship (in the context of a SOA).
  4. Statement 3 and 4 in respect of Service contracts and interfaces.
  5. Loose coupling, its dimensions and their impact on or correlation with service layers/types.

A lot of stuff for the next month(s)!
