02 Dec 2005 Listen to this informative interview with two of the IBM® experts in service-oriented architecture (SOA) implementation. Sixth in the WebSphere® Technical Podcast series on developerWorks, this 16-minute podcast covers how business-driven development accurately and reliably captures and translates business needs into IT solutions. It discusses how the four roles of the business analyst, the architect, the developer, and the integration developer can work together. For a special developerWorks listener-only promotion, listen to the audio
of this podcast.

This podcast covers what you need to know about the business-driven development approach: - The first step to bridge from the business-process model to a technical model is to visualize and understand the business model. One way is to use tools, such as Rational® Software Architect, to visualize it in a Unified Modeling Language (UML).
- One approach is to apply a UML profile for software services within Rational Software Architect that allows service-oriented modeling.
- Another approach is using patterns as a mechanism for generating and driving the service implementation.
- To see the relationships from the business-process model and the business-level services into the IT, you need to use and define "traceability."
- IBM has tools, such as WebSphere Integration Developer, which allows you to choreograph services together to build a deployable business process. You can deploy this BPEL-based business process into a runtime, such as WebSphere Process Server.
- There are two ways to look at standards: infrastructure and semantic. Infrastructure standards help you with interoperability and portability, such as HTTP, XML, WSDL, SOAP, UDDI, and BPEL for service orchestration. Semantic standards are based on infrastructure standards used throughout a company, and ideally, throughout the industry.
