Therefore,
service-oriented business integration efforts must focus on the service distribution aspects of
larger business domain environments and the alignment between local and regional domains. The
larger the business distribution, the more challenging service-oriented business integration efforts
will be.
Encouraging service reuse practices requires studying an organization??™s domain structures
as well as discussing service collaboration and interface with various remote departments or
divisions. The continental geographic scenario is not a far-fetched reality in today??™s growing
economies. Development of services no longer demands local implementations by one group
or another. The service life cycle is clearly becoming an enterprise initiative that should be
shared across organizations. Accordingly, services should be recorded in a service-oriented asset
portfolio and published (typically employing universal description, discovery, and integration
(UDDI) registries) for engaging potential remote consumers.
Exhibit 10.10 illustrates a continental integration environment along with its contained
multiple regions and their aggregated local domains.
