Data-centric SOA complements "Application"-centric SOA similar to how Computer grid environments are complemented by Data grids. SOA is thought of as a means to integrate legacy applications in a reusable and interoperable manner by wrapping legacy business logic as services accessible from different applications. In most of the cases, until now, it is application business logic or transactions that are being provisioned as services. On the other hand there are a lot of data sources and data centric activities that need to be accessed in a modular and reusable format. These data centric activities have the same requirements as the traditional pieces of infrastructure that have been wrapped up as services. "Data Services" can be utilised to provide service-oriented access to activities like data consolidation, transformation, federation, replication, etc. Some common business problems that need data services include business intelligence, compliance, etc., that are on the top of a lot of Information Technology organisations priority list as requirements from business divisions.
At JAX India 2007, Himagiri Mukkamal will talk about the assimilation of Data in the SOA world and describe various data services patterns that can be employed for solving Data Integration problems. The session will begin by defining “Data Services” and provide a hypothetical functional architecture. Following that, use cases will be addressed to show the reason why data services are needed in today’s heterogeneous IT environment. At the end, it will go into actual definition and deployment of a data services solution based on a particular use-case.
