SOA Manifesto

Já havia sido anunciado a alguns meses atrás que no SOA International Symposium (evento realizado na Holanda) seria lançado o SOA Manifesto, conforme site do evento: http://www.soasymposium.com/soamanifesto/

Agora é oficial. Vejam reprodução parcial do manifesto abaixo:

Service orientation is a paradigm that frames what you do.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a type of architecture that results from applying service orientation. We have been applying service orientation to help organizations consistently deliver sustainable business value, with increased agility and cost effectiveness, in line with changing business needs.

Through our work we have come to prioritize:

• Business value over technical strategy
• Strategic goals over project-specific benefits
• Intrinsic interoperability over custom integration
• Shared services over specific-purpose implementations
• Flexibility over optimization
• Evolutionary refinement over pursuit of initial perfection

That is, while we value the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
