This framework intrinsically drives two major service-oriented
modeling initiatives that are pursued at different times during the service life cycle: constituting
enterprise conceptual services during the service-oriented conceptualization phase, and establishing
architectural concepts devised during the conceptual architecture process. The major activities
that a conceptual environment can assist with include:
??? Facilitating the studies of the organizational business model, business strategies, and
problem domain. This effort includes inspecting the state of business, business analysis,
and business activities.
??? Involving business and technology personnel in whiteboard and conceptualization sessions
to formalize ideas and establish organizational concepts. This may include generalization
of problems, abstraction identification, and consolidation of ideas that emerge from
various organizational sources, such as people, business processes, and existing documentation.
??? Helping business and service-oriented architects, modelers, and developers to establish
enterprise conceptual services.
??? Facilitating the conceptual architecture process, in which technological abstractions are
identified and categorized.
??? Enabling the constitution of an organizational service-oriented taxonomy consisting of
conceptual services and architectural concepts and managed by an asset portfolio manager
software package.
