Federated Endpoint Layer (Erl)


Home > Common Compound Design Patterns > Federated Endpoint Layer


Audio Podcast
This pattern is discussed as part of the audio podcast:

Data-Related SOA Design Patterns
Federation is an important concept in service-oriented computing. It represents the desired state of the external, consumer-facing perspective of a service inventory, as expressed by the collective contracts of all the inventoryˇ¦s services.

The more federated and unified this collection of contracts (endpoints) is, the more easily and effectively the services can be repeatedly consumed and leveraged.



The joint application of Official Endpoint, Service Normalization, Canonical Protocol, Canonical Schema, and Canonical Expression results in Federated Endpoint Layer.
