Publication number: 20060085243Abstract: A service-oriented architecture includes applications, business services, business functions, and data repositories for developing human resource or other applications. A business service provides a set of business functions. The applications access business functions within business services. The business functions provide mechanisms for accessing and processing data in the data repositories. Applications may access business functions directly or through an interface that provides a common format for accessing the business functions. The business functions may access data through components that provide data transformation and mapping so that the business functions may be independent of the data format.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Applicant: Workscape, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Cooper, Jeffrey Kirk, Maciek Kolesnik, William Nazzaro, Marc Sacoolas, Michael Waluk
