Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for creating and using applicable information technology maps. Defined rules that indicate how information technology services interrelate to other computing components in the information technology infrastructure are received. A specified level of detail is selected, from among one or more levels of detail in taxonomy for the information technology infrastructure, for presenting the service map of the information technology service. Ownership for components that are to be presented in the service map is associated with specified responsible entities. The service map is created with the specified level of detail. The service map can then be accessed and utilized to discretely apply a process theory to the information technology infrastructure.
