The SOA Reference Model will be in public review for a while, and I
believe it provides a basic, non-specific framework to guide this
discussion. The SOA RM TC is standing up an Reference Architecture
(RA) Subcommittee (SOA-RA SC), embarking on a Reference Architecture
effort.
This is of obvious interest to me as I head up a federal CIO Council
Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice (SICoP) Semantic
Interoperability Architecture (SIA) Pilot Project that currently
fields 12-16 companies. We just demonstrated our network at the
Fourth Semantic Interoperabiity for E-Government Conference last
Thursday and Friday.
I agree with John, on this very brief overview.
The devil, of course, is in the details, where we will need to
specify how one puts together the Trust Network and the Federated
Registry/Repository System. For our my pilot's purposes the Trust
Network plans to start by incorporating XACML in the ebXML registry
portion of our registries component. Overall, our Trust Network and
Registries will employ the OASIS triumvirate of specifications, SAML,
XACML and WSS, and we will be creating both ebXML and UDDI Registries
for the two areas on which we focus. One area is Emergency
Management--using the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the
Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) Distribution Element
(EDXL_DE) that is soon to be released for public comment. The other
area is Health Informatics, which will require a major effort to
align with existing and developing health standards. I plan to work
that effort through the OASIS International Health Continuum TC and
the National Center for Ontological Research's (NCOR's) Committee on
Ontology for Health Informatics to bring practical interoperability
to this area.
I go into such details simply to make the point that the Devil really
IS in these details, and interoperability where the rubber meets the
road depends on it, and not on marketing hype or the battle to own a
bigger share of the public mind, so to speak. Unfortunately, the race
to market plays by its own rules, and the best we can hope to do is
to bring a better, better-thought-out, and more inherently stable and
adaptable structured alternative to the largely ad hoc efforts in the
wild and wooly weed patch of SOA as we see it today.
Cheers,
Rex
