Standardized service contract
Each service should have a standardized service contract, consisting of a technical interface and service description. Even though we want services to be independent, they have to adhere to a common agreement so that units of logic can maintain a certain level of standardization.
In order to have standardized service contracts, all service contracts within a particular service inventory should follow a set of design standards. Standardization enables interoperability and allows the purpose of services to be more easily understood.
