Subject: Greater SOA-RM Visibility is Needed!
Duane and the SOA-RM TC,
I'm attending the Ground System Architectures
Workshop (GSAW) in L.A. this week and just this morning, I sat through a
number of talks describing SOA in general and SOA in the context of ground
system architectures for space data systems. There was a great deal of
discussion surrounding SOA and Web Services and unfortunately, not enough about
distinguishing between the two (i.e., architectural style vs. technology).
The only references to OASIS were with respect to various WS-*
specs. I was even more disheartened to hear one speaker state explicitly
during his talk (and captured as a bullet) that "no standards-based
reference model exists for SOA." Of course, I had to set the record
straight during the Q&A following this speaker's presentation, and was
promptly approached by many in the audience asking where they could find a copy
of the SOA-RM Public Draft!
My point is that each and every speaker this
morning used a different lexicon for defining SOA and none of them acknowledged
or even made reference to the OASIS SOA-RM. I think we need to do some
better job marketing this work. Do the OASIS By-Laws allow us to do
this? We [this body of work] needs much more visibility whether in various
industry rags, user group forums, consortia, etc. This is
particularly true in the Government contexts (i.e., Military, Civil, and Intel
space communities) that I witnessed today.
Would like to hear your thoughts on how we might
address this problem.
Regards...
