This document discusses governance considerations for REST-style service-oriented architectures (SOAs). It outlines how REST constraints impact technology, processes, and organization compared to traditional SOA governance models. Specifically, it focuses on how the uniform contract of REST requires governance of contract and media type definitions across services to ensure interoperability. New processes may also be needed for managing changes to the uniform contract. Overall, REST requires a shift to more centralized governance of contracts, media types and methods while still allowing flexibility for individual services.
