These are the pillars of the service typing process. They enable an
analysis selection process by which a service abstraction is inspected for its potential to contribute
to resolving a problem. Also examined is how legacy services with proven records can participate
in a collaborative solution.
Exhibit 6.2 illustrates the proposed service-oriented analysis typing model. This depicted
analysis service typing paradigm further breaks down the main category groups into subclasses.
A service source can be an abstraction, a legacy service, or even listed in an organizational asset
portfolio. A service structure can be depicted as atomic, composite, or cluster. And the context
category distinguishes between business, technical, or miscellaneous types. Each service class
and its corresponding subcategory is explained in further detail in the sections that follow.
ANALYSIS SERVICE SOURCE TYPE. While identifying all the participating parties that may collaboratively
propose solutions to organizational challenges, it may become clear that the conceptual
services discovered in the conceptualization phase do not cover the full scope of the problem
domain. They may offer, however, a partial solution that may be worth considering. Some of the
solution ingredients being sought for may have been already operating in the current production
environments or even providing viable business value on business partners??™ promises.
