Service oriented view (SOV) viewpoint

A description of and guidance for the use of the MOD Architecture Framework (MODAF) Service Oriented View Viewpoint.

The Service-Oriented Views (SOVs) are a set of views that specify services that are to be used in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). In MODAF terms, services are an implementation-independent specification of a packaged element of functionality. The views describe the specification of these services, how services are orchestrated together for a purpose, the capabilities that services deliver and how services are implemented. Note that the views do not focus on the detailed design of the service, rather on the requirement the service fulfils.
