Service Oriented Architectures offer a powerful
level of abstraction promising loosely-coupled, modular design. It breaks
away from conventional object-oriented programming which works for tightly
knit developer communities working in a well defined problem space,
but is not so well adapted to the web. Service interfaces cross organizational
boundaries. This is not merely a technical issue. Service interfaces
have to address the diverse business needs and terminologies of the
different parties involved; all potential sources of change. Service
interfaces also cross functional boundaries; no longer just the province
of the IT function, services must be described in a way that is intelligible
to the business analyst. The IT function is no longer just an infrastructure
provider but is key to business innovation. The ability to model business
semantics in a semantic web framework enables ease of integration, sophisticated
inference and complex query.
