2007-07-06 Friday - SOA and Canonical Models

I've recently had to do a deep-dive into the subject of Ontology for a client's SOA project. In doing a preliminary scan of recent articles, I came across the following links that seemed useful:

July 5, 2007 - SOA: Canonical Domain Model, Federated Canonical Domain Models (Kjell-Sverre Jerijærvi)


July 3, 2007 - Using a Common Data Model with SOA (David Linthicum)

June 28, 2007 - SOA/ESB Integration in the Real World (Dr. Donald Ferguson is a Microsoft Technical Fellow in Platforms and Strategy in the Office of the CTO)


Q: How does ontology fit into SOA?

DON: The semantic problem will be in the domain of industry bodies. Creating your own is probably a bad idea. Semantics will probably be introduced by problem domains and by the related experts (government bodies etc). Tagging and annotation are also ways that services can be categorized. The bottom up approach to discovery is more intuitive in this case. Semantic modelling of services may be specific to the observer, so I am a bigger fan of tagging and annotation that has growth.
