Claim One:
1. A method for performing variation oriented analysis across aspects of service oriented architecture modeling, comprising: capturing a commonality or a variance of a first process of an initial model plurality of processes relative to a second process of the initial model plurality, each of the first and second initial model processes having an initial model process format; storing the initial model processes commonality or the initial model processes variance in a common repository memory device in a repository format, the repository format different from the initial model process format; capturing at least one of a commonality or a variance of a third process of another model plurality of processes relative to a fourth process of the another model plurality, each of the third and fourth another model plurality processes having an another model process format different from the initial model process format and the repository format; storing the commonality or the variance of the another model processes in the common repository memory device in the repository format; and refining at least two processes of the initial model plurality processes into a refined initial model plurality process as a function of at least one of the stored initial model commonality, the stored initial model variance, the stored another model commonality and the stored another model variance; wherein the refining comprises considering any of the stored commonality and the stored variance of the initial model processes and the stored commonality and the stored variance of the another model processes.
