I'll get in straight away with one that is freely available (via OASIS) and also in a nice book form :)
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/15071/A%20methodology%20for%20Service%20Architectures%201%202%204%20-%20OASIS%20Contribution.pdffor the contribution to OASIS and http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/enterprise-soa for the PDF book (also available in printed form). The book covers more about how SOA impacts project management and other areas but the key to it all is to first understand the services you are trying to deliver. There are a bunch of others out there, some technical (like SOMA from IBM) and others (like the one I did) a bit more business focused, but the simple piece of working in a successful SOA project is to architect, manage and deliver the project based on those services _not_ to consider the services as just another project deliverable.

Can someone help point me to any comprehensive SOA Frameworks (preferably vendor neutral) that can help to take SOA from its inception stages to successful implementations. I'm looking for a formal "methodology" or "framework" that can be followed systematically from start to finish to guide SOA projects - if something like that exists. Perhaps this is not realistic given the iterative and incremental nature of most SOA projects but I am trying to explore something that comes close to this idea of a "methodology" Thanks for your input.
