First Claim
1. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure including a computing device, comprising:
- defining an interface comprising one or more local data elements and one or more references to one or more common data elements, of a service, the one or more common data elements being defined in a library for a plurality of services, wherein the one or more common data elements are not defined in the library as being mandatory for any of the plurality of services;
configuring a data definition file (DDF), the configuring comprising defining an optionality attribute for each of the one or more local data elements and the one or more common data elements as mandatory for the service; and
validating the one or more common data elements from the service message as mandatory for the service based on the interface and the configured DDF.

Abstract
An approach for specifying data in a standards style pattern of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments is provided. The approach implemented in a computer infrastructure, includes defining an interface including one or more local data elements and one or more references to one or more common data elements, of a service, the one or more common data elements being defined in a library for a plurality of services. The approach further includes configuring a data definition file (DDF) which indicates whether each of the one or more local data elements and the one or more common data elements is mandatory for the service. The approach further includes validating one or more data elements from a consumer as mandatory for the service based on the configured DDF.
