Anatomy of a Web Service Contract
For Web services to succeed as part of SOA, they require balanced, effective technical contracts that enable services to be evolved and repeatedly reused for years to come. Now, a team of industry experts presents the first end-to-end guide to designing and governing Web service contracts.
This is an excerpt of Chapter 4 from Web Service Contract Design & Versioning for SOA by Thomas Erl, Anish Karmarkar, Priscilla Walmsley, Hugo Haas, L. Umit Yalcinalp, Kevin Liu, David Orchard, Andre Tost, James Pasley, published by Prentice Hall, as part of The Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl, Copyright 2009 SOA Systems Inc.

Web service contracts can range in content, depth, and complexity. To fully appreciate the intricacies and design options of how Web service contracts can be structured, we first need to decompose this structure in order to understand its individual parts and the mechanics that make these parts work together.
The purpose of this chapter is to explain the Web service contract from a conceptual and structural perspective without yet getting into the details of how the contract is actually developed through markup code.
We start exploring contract structure by breaking the contract down into a set of primary parts. This allows us to describe what these parts are, what technologies can be used to create them, and how they can relate to each other. Subsequent chapters will then drill down into each of the mentioned parts and technologies.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
