SOA Suite Skill Map

While working on SOA Suite various areas of technology criss-cross each other, Its sometimes overwhelming to look at issues in a structured manner. From a Reference Architecture perspective, things are clear, they stack up as follow

1. User Interaction Layer (Portal, Composite Applications, BAM)
2. Connectivity Layer (Security, ESB, OWSM)
3. Integration Layer (SOA Suite, BPM, B2B, ODI)
4. Infrastructure Layer (Weblogic Suite, Coherence)

Also the cross-cutting Layers of IDE, management and Governance

Coming back to SOA Suite - I divide it into four major buckets
-BPEL
-ESB
-Adapters
-App Server (OC4J or Weblogic)

Here is the list of items that would come under each category, I have split each category/area into Development and Administration parts - This can help to map issues to one of these areas/items and so in troubleshooting. I plan to keep adding to the list, basically very high-level taxonomy that in turn will have lot of details in the development/administration guides.
