SOA and its Linkages with Service Design Lifecycle

(a) EA and SOA mentioned in the book
Heartening to see the fact that the authors first and foremost mentioned "service architecture" as a first view within EA framework shown as well as spend time detailing their view of SOA in this book.

(b) Service Design Package
Obviously a lot of what is written in this book is rather simplistic in terms of what is widely applied to packages or apps in the past has been re-written here - and ignores the type of teams - consumer/producer - within a SOA project, but I would think that authors can be excused as this concepts are now maturing and may not have been widely established when the books were written

- the SOA practisioners can be advised to read this book to understand how to transform their deliverables into actionable service delivery artifacts as required or whether they can be merged in one.

(c) The book starts off by asking for a clear definition of word "service" - thanks - so that everyone is clear on how business service, technical service or consulting service is defined.
