SOA Registry/Repository positioning

["David RR Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Carl,

 

Stupid me.  Yes - this is the exact point - as techies we congratulate ourselves on superior tools and being ahead of the curve - but we forget to make it obvious to the potential users.

 

I'd fallen into this with the REST/AJAX work - not spelling out that the intent is to make SOA much easier to do.

 

We could very easily create a SOA implementers group - and announce that thru OASIS - as an adhoc group discussing the support of SOA applications with ebXML reg/rep.  That way we get all the Google search hits and visibility - and then feedback from users on needs.  Already the IHE/XDS group fits into this.

 

Choices are - have OASIS do a discussion list for 60 days - or do something on ebxml.xml.org

To help folks understand that SOA already has a Registry Repository standard we could modify the name to "SOA Registry & Repository"
