These are the standards and guides which I help authored.
ISO/IEC 17798:2012 – Information Technology – SOA Governance Framework – describes a framework that provides context and definitions to enable organizations to understand and deploy service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance.
Defines SOA Governance, including its relationship between Business, IT, and EA governance; this assists organizations in understanding the impact that the introduction of SOA into an organization has on governance.
This frameworks covers an SOA Governance Reference Model (SGRM) and its constituent parts, which assists organizations in specifying their appropriate governance regimes; and capturing best practice as a basis for a common approach.
In addition, the SOA Governance Vitality Method (SGVM) is covered which assists organizations in customizing the SGRM and realizing their SOA Governance Regimen.
The Open Group Cloud Ecosystem Reference Model – defines the Cloud Ecosystem Reference Model. It also provides guidance on applying the Cloud Ecosystem Reference Model with the TOGAF® and ArchiMate® standards to develop, maintain, and govern an Enterprise Architecture for the Cloud Ecosystem.
The standard uses Archimate to illustrate the relevant diagrams and models required to apply the Cloud Ecosystem Reference Model. The Cloud Ecosystem Reference Model defines the major actors and their relationships and a minimum set of Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs). The model describes the architectural capabilities to be realized and facilitated by at least one of the new or existing participants of an enterprise Cloud Ecosystem. The model establishes a common language for the various participants of an enterprise Cloud Ecosystem that supports the validations of Cloud Service Providers’ solutions to achieve architectural integrity of business solutions of an enterprise.
The Open Group TOGAF® Framework to Define and Govern Service-Oriented Architectures guide adapts the well-recognized set of best practice processes for the development, management, governance, and adoption of Enterprise Architecture and applies it specifically to SOA. Specific information is provided and illustrated on the adaptation of the TOGAF framework in the following areas:
- Use of the Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop SOAs
- Modification of the TOGAF Content Metamodel for SOAs
- Modification of the TOGAF Content Relationship Metamodel for SOAs
- Adoption of SOA-specific general and technical reference models and their use within a TOGAF environment
- Adoption of SOA-specific governance requirements for a TOGAF environment
- Adoption of SOA-specific maturity models for application within a TOGAF environment
The Open Group SOA Governance Framework describes a framework that provides context and definitions to enable organizations to understand and deploy SOA governance. There are three keys areas that are focused on:
The definition and scope of SOA Governance, including its relationship between Business, IT, and EA governance; this assists organizations in understanding the impact that the introduction of SOA into an organization has on governance
Next we define an overall SOA Governance Reference Model (SGRM) and its constituent parts, which assists organizations in specifying their appropriate governance regimes; and capturing best practice as a basis for a common approach
Lastly we discuss the SOA Governance Vitality Method (SGVM) which assists organizations in customizing the SGRM and realizing their SOA Governance Regimen
This document is not intended to be used as provided; it is intended to be customized to create appropriate SOA governance for your organization.
