Evolution of Modelling Techniques for Service Oriented ArchitectureIJERA Editor
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a software design and architecture design pattern based on independent pieces of software providing functionality as services to other applications. The benefit of SOA in the IT infrastructure is to allow parallel use and data exchange between programs which are services to the enterprise. Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a standardized general-purpose modelling language in the field of software engineering. The UML includes a set of graphic notation techniques to create visual models of object-oriented software systems. We want to make UML available for SOA as well. SoaML (Service oriented architecture Modelling Language) is an open source specification project from the Object Management Group (OMG), describing a UML profile and meta-model for the modelling and design of services within a service-oriented architecture. BPMN was also extended for SOA but there were few pitfalls. There is a need of a modelling framework which dedicated to SOA. Michael Bell authored a framework called Service Oriented Modelling Framework (SOMF) which is dedicated for SOA.

The modeling approach helped BCBSNC understand relationships and define its work for the new shared services integration.
Common Service and Common Data Model by Henry McCallumKTL Solutions
These are two topics that are most interesting, but many people don’t know about them. The Common Data Service (CMS) is confusing for many, and honestly, a more technical approach that Microsoft was reluctant about publishing at first. It’s a hidden gem. The CMS allows you to securely store and manage data within a set of standard and custom entities. After your data is stored, you would then have the ability to do much more with your data such as customize entities, leverage productivity, and secure your data. It’s the middle factor between foundation, customer service, sales, purchasing, and people. Flow is Microsoft’s long promised cross platform workflow engine. Join us as Henry dives into how these two connector tools showcase Microsoft’s solutions and can help synchronize your day to day activities.
The document describes MDMF DPGI v3.0, an HTML-based product that provides standardized frameworks (pyramids) for data management, business processes, information governance, and infrastructure architecture.
