Abstract:
This document specifies the OASIS Reference Architecture Foundation for
Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA-RAF). It follows from the concepts and
relationships
defined in the OASIS Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture.
While
it remains abstract in nature, the current document describes the foundation
upon which specific SOA concrete architectures can be built.

The focus of the SOA-RAF is on an approach to integrating business with the
information technology needed to support it. These issues are always present
but
are all the more important when business integration involves crossing
ownership
boundaries.

The SOA-RAF follows the recommended practice of describing architecture in
terms
of models, views, and viewpoints, as prescribed in the ANSI /IEEE 1471-2000,
(now ISO /IEC 42010-2007) Standard. The SOA-RAF is of value to Enterprise
Architects, Business and IT Architects as well as CIOs and other senior
executives involved in strategic business and IT planning.

TC Description:
The OASIS Service Oriented Architecture TC was constituted to develop a
Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA-RM). This is primarily
to
address SOA being used as a term in many contexts and
specific technology implementations, sometimes with
differing - or worse, conflicting - understandings of implicit terminology
and
components. The Reference Model, which became an OASIS Standard, has provided
a
common layer of understanding about what is SOA. The continuing work on the
Reference Architecture Foundation will document needs and considerations in
applying SOA-RM concepts towards SOA realizations.
Notification List: TBD - notification list being assembled
Notes: We request a 60-day review.
