The Services of the 2007 Microsoft Office System
In these days I'm working with OBA for SharePoint, and was looking through different materials, trying to find the necessary information. In one of the OBA books I stumble over the very interesting diagram, that I decided to post here. I found it really useful, because it categorize the services by logical view.
This diagram can help you when create the vision/scope of your project and operate with the logical keywords, that are translated to the specific services of SharePoint.

This diagram represents a logical view of the service architecture for the 2007 Microsoft Office system. At the bottom of the diagram are the more fundamental services. Each succeeding layer then uses the services below it to build more specific services to support business operations. At the top level are specific business services that can be used independently or organized to support business applications and processes.
