&lt;p>&#xD;
    This Service-Oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA) plug-in builds on top of Classic Rational Unified Process (RUP),&#xD;
    adding guidance for the Software Architect and Designer in developing Service-Oriented Solutions.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This&#xD;
    plug-in is based upon the version 2.0 RUP plug-in for SOA but has been extensively enhanced to incorporate content from&#xD;
    the Service-Oriented Modeling and Architecture method developed by IBM Global Business Services.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The following diagram, which is explained in depth in &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;

    guid=&quot;3.271868778372756E-306&quot;>Whitepaper: The RUP Update for Service-Oriented Architecture&lt;/a>&amp;nbsp;describes a method&#xD;
    neutral set of activities required of any process for the development of service-oriented solutions. This conceptual&#xD;
    process was common to both the RUP for SOA plug-in and the SOMA method and allowed for a relatively simple integration&#xD;
    of the two content models.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;

&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    This plug-in also provides the connection between business modeling and&amp;nbsp;service modeling.&amp;nbsp; Many SOA projects&#xD;
    use business process models to understand the business, functional requirements and the services required to support a&#xD;
    process. For more information on this plug-in, see the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
