Description
The Capability to Service Mapping View (SOV-3) depicts which services contribute to the achievement of a capability. It is in the form of a table generated from the database. If a network enabled capability is to be delivered by the orchestration of loosely couple services (i.e. a service-oriented architecture), it is important to know which services have the potential to support particular capabilities. This helps to prevent redundant services or capabilities, (except where specifically required) and what is known as stovepipe development. An SOV-3 presents a simple mapping of services to capabilities, showing which services contribute to which capability.
Implementation
SOV-3 can be represented using a StV-6 diagram which is an editable Dependency Matrix. The Service Interfaces will be used as the row elements and the Capabilities will be used as the column elements.
