RE: [ebsoa] ebSOA definition

[<tmathews@lmi.org>]

I concur on the invite, 

1) I thought the presentation did a 'great' job illustrating where WSs fit into the overall SOA stack

2) my other immediate thought was that the ppt reaffirms the need for an architecture standard, eg. incrementally deploying and layering 1-n web services in a large enterprise could become a major problem for an enterprise architect w/o constraints

Yes - JJ's presentation is a great start point for defining what SOA is /
is not..  Perhaps he could be invited to donate the 'ip' embedded in his
statements to the TC.
