Today, I reviewed some basic concepts of traditional Enterprse Architecture . Also explored the space between and overlaps of traditional EA and SOA. which I believe will help provide bacground context in my exploration of SOA Frameworks.
I believe that SOA and EA are interrelated. Both SOA and EA generally end up meeting in the middle, by focusing on Business Capabilities. SOA works upstream, to create a Service Model from the Business Capabilities Model. EA works downstream, to create a Business Capabilities Model
EA is generally agnostic to the specific capability implementations. Though certain EA mandates can definitely limit the technology choices. Business capabilities can be implemented using a Services Oriented Architecture approach.
The relationship between SOA and EA are further discussed on my blog.
