service-oriented architecture
In software engineering, service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that focuses on discrete services instead of a monolithic design. By consequence, it is also applied in the field of software design where services are provide ...
. Its aim is to simplify the development of component based (EDOC) systems by providing a UML-based modeling framework conforming to the

The basis of EDOC is the
Enterprise Collaboration Architecture, ECA,
meta model that defines how roles interact within communities in the performance of collaborative business processes.
The seven EDOC specifications
EDOC is composed of seven specifications:
# The
Enterprise Collaboration Architecture, ECA
# The
Metamodel and UML Profile for Java and EJB
# The
Flow Composition Model, FCM
# The
UML Profile for Patterns
# The
UML Profile for ECA
# The
UML Profile for Meta Object Facility
# The
UML Profile for Relationships
