1. Design approach. 
   1. Conceptual models
      1. Have you developed enterprise capability maps
      2. Have you developed an enterprise ontology
      3. Have you developed an enterprise conceptuial data architecture
   2. How do you design your contracts?
      1. Contract first
      2. Bottom up (java annotations)
2. Message styles (notes). Different message styles are appropriate for different contexts. Which ones do you use?
   1. SOAP
   2. REST
   3. Plain old XML (POX)
   4. Other
3. Documentation. How do you document your service contracts?
   1. Interfaces published in javadoc
   2. XML schema
   3. Textual descriptions on wikis
4. How do you mange trust between the various components
5. If some components are in the cloud, how will that affect your security architecture
6. Messaging: synch/asynch

6. Cost benefit analysis

1. Metrics
   1. Cost to build each service
   2. Integration costs related to service re-use
   3. service reuse opportunities
2. Strategic Value -- ROI
   1. Have processes been improved?
   2. Have new capabilities been provided?
   3. What other benefits have resulted from SOA, e.g., reusabile services  reduced development time  better access to enterprise data  rationalization of business process?

7. Technologies

1. Is a commercial "turnkey" SOA solution being used:
   1. Oracle fusion
   2. IBM websphere
2. Are any open source or open source plus support solutions being used:
   1. MuleSoft
   2. WSO2
   3. Fuse
   4. Apache ServiceMix
3. Standards
   1. XML binding JAXB, JAX-WS, other
   2. SAML
4. Has SOA led you to re-engineer your infrastructure? For example, if your data warehouse is the current hub of data exchange, does SOA change this?
