读 Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture 1.0

location:  http://docs.oasis-open.org/soa-rm/v1.0/

 

Abstract:

This Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture is an abstract framework for understanding significant entities and relationships between them within a service-oriented environment, and for the development of consistent standards or specifications supporting that environment. It is based on unifying concepts of SOA and may be used by architects developing specific service oriented architectures or in training and explaining SOA.

 

 

关键概念:

 

• service:
  • is a mechanism to enable access to one or more capabilities, where the access is provided using a prescribed interface and is exercised consistent with constraints and policies as specified by the service description.
  • service provider
  • service consumer

(visibility,interaction and real world effect are from a dynamic perspective of  Dynamics of Services  )

• visibility:
  • For a service provider and consumer to interact with each other they have to be able to ‘see’ each other; 
  • awareness
  • willingness
  • reachability
• interaction:
  • In many cases, this is accomplished by sending and receiving messages, and  a service interaction may be effected by modifying the state of a shared resource.
  • Information model (由service description描述)
    • semantics
    • structure
  • Behavor model (由service description描述)
    • Action model
    • Process model
  • Real World Effect:
  • a service calling trying to get the service to do some work in real world, the call will make effect in the real world;
  • shared state  (associate with interaction)

(Service description ,Excution context and contact & policy can be seen as the components of the service)

• Service description:
  • The service description represents the information needed in order to use a service.
  • The purpose of description is to facilitate interaction and visibility
  • service reachability
  • service functionality
  • policies related to a service
  • service interface
• Excution Context:
  • of a service interaction is the set of infrastructure elements, process entities, policy assertions and agreements that are identified as part of an instantiated service interaction, and thus forms a path between those with needs and those with capabilities.
• Contact & policy:
  • A policy represents some constraint or condition on the use, deployment or description of an owned entity as defined by any participant. A contract, on the other hand, represents an agreement by two or more parties.
  • Assertion
  • policy owner
  • enforcement
  • parties in Agreement ?
