SOA Reference Architecture – Relationship to Open Group Guide: Using TOGAF to Define and Govern SOA
The Open Group Guide, Using TOGAF to Define and Govern Service-Oriented Architectures [26], describes one of the ways in which to instantiate the SOA Reference Architecture (SOA RA) using TOGAF. In that description, the practical guide suggests the use of the TOGAF meta-model to model the SOA RA adapted to an organization.
This mapping between the TOGAF meta-model and the meta-model used in the SOA RA is described below.
