Canonical Expression (Erl)

How can service contracts be consistently understood and interpreted?

Canonical Expression

Problem

Service contracts may express similar capabilities in different ways, leading to inconsistency and risking misinterpretation.

Solution

Service contracts are standardized using naming conventions.

Application

Naming conventions are applied to service contracts as part of formal analysis and design processes.

Impacts

The use of global naming conventions introduces enterprisewide standards that need to be consistently used and enforced.

Architecture

Enterprise, Inventory, Service

Canonical Expression: The expression of service contracts is aligned across services.

The expression of service contracts is aligned across services.
