Here a couple of other questions coming from the looking at
the diagram:
1) what I special in this governance model for the service
orientation or why is it good
especially for SOA?
2) what "Policies, Rules, and Regulations" are meant here - any ones,
run-time and/or development ones?
3) should the governance model in SOA RA promote the best
practices in SOA governance (if YES, what are they and how are they reflected in
here)?
I know, asking questions is much easier than answering
them, nevertheless...

musings over the weekend
Another tweak to the governance model, this time adding a class for
Metrics Collection and new relationships.
Given a model of Governance, the next question on my mind is how does it
affect architecture. Some thoughts along those lines:
Architecture implications
- need
mechanisms to create and catalog Policies, Rules, and Regulation
- need
reliable access to specifics of current Governance Framework and Governance
Processes
- need
mechanisms to collect metrics
- need
mechanisms for Participants to access metrics
- need
enforcement mechanisms for Management Body
Assumptions
- You cannot govern what you cannot measure
- You cannot govern what does not agree to be
governed
- expectations on what can and will be governed must
match the reality of what is possible and what is the collective will to see
done
- need to
manage (including configuration management and CRUD processes)Governance
Framework and Governance Processes,Policies, Rules, and Regulations but not
Goals
- I don't care where the Goals originated beyond
saying they come from Participants
- I don't care if they are "good" Goals or "bad"
Goals because it is up to Governance to come up with the set that serves those
who want to remain Participants, and the SOA machinery should be agnostic to
the quality of the Goals or the make-up of the Participants
- There may be many parallel or interacting
Governance environment with which a given Participant must interact.
