In the previous article we described the role of service models and explored the design standards for an entity-centric business service. This model establishes a highly process-agnostic encapsulation context in that the logic placed into these types of services is not directly related to any one business process. So, where does the process logic go? There are two common options we'll explore shortly, each of which represents another distinct type of service model. But first, let's discuss agnostic services some more and explain how they can be realized through the abstraction of business process logic.
