Architecture Framework are used to define AS-IS and
TO-BE Models. Reference model here implies compliance
across goverment agencies. Reference means commonality
across organizations. So reference models or
architecture should not be called my or their
organization's but every organization's.
I am not into SOA reference architecture yet. If
someone can share what that is. Currently I am
reviewing architectures on a large sw project (600
staff for five years). My belief is that traditional
sw methodology does not work well with SW of this
size. I am researching and selling enterprise
archiecture planning to the management. The benefit
of EA is the holistic view of huge amount of
applications and better alignment of IT to business.
SOA is only part of the overall IT architecture as I
see it.
My guess that SOA reference architecture is a
collection of architectural patterns organizations can
select from.
My hunch is that for large organization's IT
modernization, Enterprise Architecture planning is
essential. It is based on the understanding of the
business to derive enterprise wide data and technology
architectures which SOA fits into the picture where it
is needed and aligned to the rest of IT infrastructure
and business context.
