Most important, they
should be treated equally in the face of analysis, design, and architectural initiatives, and should
simply be recognized as services.
A new SOA modeling language will be unveiled in this book that is not based on any
particular programming language paradigm, constrained by language structure barriers, or limited
to a language syntax. As a result of this universal language, the modeling process becomes more
accessible to both the business and technology communities. This SOA modeling approach is well
suited to provide tactical, short-term solutions to enterprise concerns, yet it furnishes strategic
remedies to persistent organizational problems. So what is service-oriented modeling?
Service-oriented modeling is a software development practice that employs modeling disciplines
and language to provide strategic and tactical solutions to enterprise problems. This
anthropomorphic modeling paradigm advocates a holistic view of the analysis, design, and
architecture of all organizational software entities, conceiving them as service-oriented assets,
namely services.
SERVICE-ORIENTED MODELING: WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Modeling activities are typically embedded in the planning phase of almost any project or software
development initiative that an organization conducts. The modeling paradigm embodies
the analysis, design, and architectural disciplines that are being pursued during a given project.
