The National Archives is developing a range of practical solutions to the active preservation of electronic records, using an extensible service-oriented architecture and a central technical registry (PRONOM). This paper describes TNA’s methodologies for characterisation, preservation planning, and preservation action, the technologies being adopted to implement them, and the role of PRONOM in supporting these services. It describes how this approach fits with international research programmes, and the types of preservation service which TNA may be able to provide externally in the future.

In order to continue to fulfill its mission in the information technology age, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has made the decision to develop the Electronic Records Archives (ERA) system. One of the goals is to provide to the archivists a modernized system with automatic workflow that can streamline the digital archive business process. For an archival system, Ingest is one of the core components. As part of the ingest process, this component would allow the record Producer to negotiate submission agreement before transferring digital materials into the system. Within the framework of a service-oriented architecture with business process management, the ERA system uses XML to represent business objects and metadata. In this paper, we will show how the synergetic combination of XForms and Genericode makes the system agile and responsive to business user requirements. Furthermore, the approach fits well with ERA's design principle to use international and industry standards, and facilitates the integration of XML business objects and the electronic records metadata. We believe that the standard-based approach of XForms+Genericode exposed in this paper can be generalized to develop any e-Forms system with a set of control values and vocabularies.

Present is the era of fast processing industries or organization gives more emphasis for planning of business processes. This planning may differ from industry to industry. Service oriented architecture provides extensible and simple architecture for industry problem solutions. Web services are a standardized way for developing interoperable applications. Web services use open standards and protocols like http, xml and soap. This chapter provides a role of enterprise service bus in building web services.

This chapter discusses the role of information system architectures in Collaborate Business Process Engineering (CBPE). Thus, in this chapter, there is an extension of the discussion on Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) from chapters 2 and 4, and its importance and relevance to CBPE. The SOA based architecture is extended and applied in a collaborative business environment. The technical platform of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides an ideal mechanism to start building collaborative business processes, as it facilitates technical collaboration of different environments - as discussed in this chapter.

An underlying premise of much of the comment on developing countries' agricultural research organizations and capabilities, has been that they are weak, and have been unsuccessful in generating new technologies and meeting farmers' needs. Indeed, one of the very justifications for the setting up of the series of international research institutes, such as the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) was that national research programmes were seen to lack sufficient strength and organization to be able to respond to the urgent needs of food production that were identified in the 1960s. It was argued that a primary role of the International Centres would be to support and develop such national research programmes both through training and the provision of new plant varieties and technologies, and that the building up of local research capability in developing countries would come only after the International Research Centres had developed and transferred the new technologies.

This chapter introduces Service-Oriented Architecture and puts it in the context of the net-centric future. We discuss key service-oriented architecture concepts as it applies to the information industry and provide a set of open technical standards that everyone needs to adhere. We then define a set of SOA terminology and provide a description of each of the elements that make up a SOA within a large enterprise. We discuss the benefits of SOA adoption, how it helps application configuration and interoperability, and what points the enterprise needs to consider. Then we provide a set of DoD stated net-centric goals that helps to move forward from the current view of the enterprise to the future view. We discuss the netcentric SOA principles and SOA governance activities as it relates to large organizations.

Exception handling is an important issue in dependable software computing. This paper presents a system architecture and explains the role of responsibility of each component that is introduced in the architecture. The design is used to ensure the constructed service-oriented applications remain in a stable state. Service-Oriented Architecture is a paradigm for constructing current enterprise applications. It uses service composition technology to induce existing service components to provide advanced services. The most important concept in this methodology is that of reusing existing components. Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is widely used for achieving service composition, providing basic capability for developers to deal with faults using defined activities standard in BPEL. No sufficient design, however, supports developers in implementing fault-handling components efficiently. The architecture proposed in this paper provides the design approach to explain how to reuse the fault-handling components. Additionally, the paper also provides an empirical case study that illustrates how this design was used by the Chunghwa Telecom Company in an effort to improve efficiency in implementing fault-handling components and in constructing service-oriented applications. The number of fault-handling components required was reduced from 38 to 3, implying a 92.10% efficiency rate.
