  Whitepaper: View Services Architecture for SOA
  This technical whitepaper shows how the Composite Information Server (CIS) extends a services-oriented architecture (SOA) to include data assets, also called data services. Within an SOA, data services can provide information in the form that users need to see it, regardless of how or where data is stored, or if it spans multiple sources. Composite then abstracts and delivers the results, on-demand, and also allows for reuse of the information.
   
This whitepaper is the first document under the “Resources” navigation bar on the right side of page.
