The information perspective of SOA design, Part 2: The value of applying the business glossary pattern in SOA

2008-02-13T17:00:00.006-08:00

Do you find it challenging when key business terms cause confusion, back and
forth debates over what they (should) mean, delays, late changes, or even complete
failure in your SOA or data integration projects? This second article in the series "The information perspective
