Thomas Rischbeck explains it here. http://www.itworld.com/soa/77213/soa-pattern-8-esb-pattern#comments SOA Tip ESB SOA pattern Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:48:41 -0400 ITworld staff 77213 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/soa/69525/soa-pattern-week-7-policy-centralization The Policy Centralization pattern advocates that we keep a reusable policy in a single definition and have service contracts to which the policy applies, link to and share this definition. http://www.itworld.com/soa/69525/soa-pattern-week-7-policy-centralization#comments SOA Tip SOA pattern Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:47:53 -0400 ITworld staff 69525 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/soa/68155/soa-pattern-week-6-canonical-schema Of all the patterns in the SOA design patterns catalog there is perhaps no other as simple to understand yet as difficult to apply in practice as Canonical Schema. There are also few patterns that spark as much debate. http://www.itworld.com/soa/68155/soa-pattern-week-6-canonical-schema#comments SOA Feature SOA pattern Tue, 19 May 2009 16:26:39 -0400 ITworld staff 68155 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/soa/65996/soa-pattern-week-5-service-decomposition A service inventory is a living body of services that individually will need the freedom to evolve independently over time. What we learned when documenting the SOA design pattern catalog is that there are patterns that emerged not only at design-time but also during this post-implementation evolutionary stage in a service's lifecycle. http://www.itworld.com/soa/65996/soa-pattern-week-5-service-decomposition#comments SOA Feature SOA pattern Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:38:29 -0400 ITworld staff 65996 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/soa/63267/soa-pattern-week-4-service-normalization Service Normalization is one of many patterns that support service reusability, but its goals go beyond that. Like data normalization, the Service Normalization pattern is intent on reducing redundancy and waste in order to avoid the governance burden associated with having to maintain and synchronize similar or duplicate bodies of service logic. http://www.itworld.com/soa/63267/soa-pattern-week-4-service-normalization#comments SOA Feature SOA pattern Wed, 25 Feb 2009 15:45:03 -0500 ITworld staff 63267 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/soa/62143/soa-pattern-week-3-domain-inventory Enterprise-wide harmonization is a desirable and ideal target state that fully supports pretty much everything SOA and service-orientation stand for. For those that have achieved such a state, bless your standardized hearts. You have accomplished something that has eluded many others. However, not attaining this state does not mean you cannot successfully adopt SOA. http://www.itworld.com/soa/62143/soa-pattern-week-3-domain-inventory#comments SOA Feature SOA pattern Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:30:00 -0500 ITworld staff 62143 at http://www.itworld.com
