    Service orientation is a way of thinking in terms of services and service-based development and the outcomes of services.

    A service:

    • Is a logical representation of a repeatable business activity that has a specified outcome (e.g., check customer credit; provide weather data, consolidate drilling reports)
    • Is self-contained
    • May be composed of other services
    • Is a “black box” to consumers of the service

    On The Open Group website is also a Delivering SOA with TOGAF presentation available.
