Here I give the definition of a service inventory in SOA.
What is the service inventory SOA type?
A service inventory is an independently standardized and governed collection of services within a boundary, that could be an enterprise or a segment of an enterprise. It is created through a top-down delivery process, which results in the definition of a service inventory blueprint. If there are more than one inventory in an organization, it can further be qualified as domain service inventory.
design issues:
- scope and boundary
- service standardization
- scalability
- runtime platforms
- infrastructure
- governance
