A Formal Ontology for SOA

Report: SOA and EA Workshop
On the Tuesday morning of the conference, the SOA Working Group is holding a structured workshop on Service-Oriented Enterprise Architecture (see here). This workshop will use a case study to show how to develop an enterprise SOA using TOGAF, building on the work of the SOA/TOGAF Practical Guide and SOA Reference Architecture projects. This session of the conference will present the conclusions of the workshop, and develop them further using input from the audience.
