Enterprise Architecture White Papers

An SOA for the Federal Enterprise

Overview To align an enterprise architecture with the President's Management Agenda for Expanded Electronic Government, artifacts in a strategic information asset base should model key business drivers. This approach is more elegant than reconciling lists of standards or mapping target architectures to reference models. Probably the most significant driver in the agenda is the call for "simplified delivery of services to citizens." This paper shows how to better align an enterprise architecture with the President's Management Agenda (PMA), describes why services-oriented architecture (SOA) is the best approach to accomplish this goal, and provides contrasting architectural views that illustrate the significance of what is modeled by the author.
