Federal Information Technology (IT) leaders trying to realize the maximum value from their IT investments are frequently faced with a multitude of technical options on how to best serve their customers, including which tools and standards to use for service provider implementations. Decisions are often based upon subjective measures of merit, rather than a structured framework for matching fundamental IT requirements to implementation characteristics. To address this challenge, MITRE has developed the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Characterization Framework (SCF), which characterizes SOA service provider requirements in terms that can be mapped to SOA implementation technologies.
