A Semantic Service Oriented Architecture (SSOA) is an computer architecture that allows for scalable and controlled Enterprise Application Integration solutions.[1] SSOA describes a sophisticated approach to enterprise scale IT infrastructure. It leverages rich, machine-interpretable descriptions of data, services, and processes to enable software agents to autonomously interact to perform critical mission functions. SSOA is technically founded on three notions:

  1. The principals of Service-oriented architecture (SOA);
  2. Standards Based Design (SBD);
  3. Semantics-based computing.

SSOA combines and implements these computer science concepts into a robust, extensible architectural capable of enabling complex, powerful functions.[2]

Applications

In health care industy, SSOA of HL7 has long been implemented. Other protocols include LOINC, PHIN, and HIPAA related standards,
