10. An apparatus for SOA process decomposition and service modeling, wherein a meta-data model is a formalization of content of said SOA, comprising: a memory; and at least one processor coupled to said memory and operative to: identify meta-data entities, attributes of said meta-data entities and relationships between stereotypes of said meta-data model; manage said meta-data model for creating, modifying and removing modeling artifacts; create modeling templates from said meta-data model to facilitate addressing needs of industry-specific applications; and enable value-added services from said modeling templates to provide capabilities comprising at least one of model validation, service discovery, service composition, service level agreement (SLA) management and industry-specific solution modeling.
