Employing Corresponding Service-Oriented Modeling Disciplines. To ensure the success of
the service-oriented modeling process, modeling practices must be guided and enforced by modeling
disciplines. They were previously introduced in the Service-Oriented Modeling Disciplines:
Introduction section, and they are discussed in further detail in Chapters 4 through 16. But these
disciplines cannot operate in a vacuum. They require one to create the proper modeling environment.
What are the corresponding disciplines of the abstraction practice? Take a second look at
Exhibit 1.16. The depicted abstraction practice spans two modeling environments:
??? Conceptual environment. As previously discussed in the section on service-oriented
modeling environments, this supporting landscape facilitates two distinct disciplines that
are chiefly concerned with the service-oriented conceptualization process. These are the
best practices and standards that assist with the ???how to do??? aspects of a conceptual
environment: First, the service-oriented conceptualization discipline facilitates the identi-
fication of conceptual services and establishment of organizational taxonomies. Second,
the conceptual architecture discipline provides guidance for the discovery of technological
abstractions that describe architectural imperatives and service-oriented assets, such
as services, middleware, and platforms.
