This paper delineates a service-oriented approach for structuring an enterprise architecture, called service-oriented urbanism. It extends the traditional information system urbanism and enterprise architectures in order to derive service clusters that structure services in a flexible way. This approach completes the existing service-oriented architecture approaches, in order to best categorizing the services and also to determining possible semantic islands that are necessary to the ontology building process. It suggests a two step approach. First, the similarities between services are measured using existing concepts from information retrieval, here the TF-IDF technique. In a second step, cluster analysis is applied in order to derive the different service-areas and service-districts.
