This work structure
is chiefly a high-level map depicting the various components that contribute to a successful
service-oriented modeling approach. It illustrates the major elements that identify the ???what to
do??? aspects of a service development scheme. These are the modeling pillars that will enable a
practitioner to craft an effective project plan and to identify the milestones of a service-oriented
initiative??”either a small- or large-scale business or a technological venture.
Exhibit 1.16 depicts the four sections of the modeling framework that identify the general
direction and the corresponding units of work that make up a service-oriented modeling strategy:
practices, environments, disciplines, and artifacts. Remember, these elements uncover the context
of a modeling occupation and do not necessarily describe the process or the sequence of activities
needed to fulfill modeling goals. These should be ironed out during the project plan that typically
sets initiative boundaries, timeframe, responsibilities and accountabilities, and achievable project
milestones.
MODELING PRACTICES. A framework practice describes an occupation, a major function that
should be pursued to drive modeling activities. The practitioners, for that matter, are the business
and technology personnel engaged in analysis, design, and architectural aspects of services.
They also offer vital input into the management process of the modeling efforts.
