Common Models in SOA: Tackling the Data Integration Problem
Creating an SOA without a data integration strategy to address semantic challenges will limit an SOA project at best, and doom it to failure at worst. Creating a common model ensures that all the information passed between the various systems and services within the SOA is consistent. This approach can significantly reduce SOA project timescales, lower development costs and avoid problems associated with poor data quality. This paper, written by Dave Hollander, Mile High XML, presents ideas on how you can tackle the data integration problem head on.
