Subject: RE: [ebsoa] RE: [fwsi] RE: [soa-rm] RE: [ebsoa] The real SOA challenge?


Hi,
 
I am new to the group.  Please bear with me if I do not understand how this works.
 
Agree 100% with David Webber, the key is in this point that David makes  "So much for history - no need to dwell there - the challenge now is to bring real business enabled XML-driven processes and SOA to fruition."
 
Which means we need to clearly address:
 
1. SOA and processes integration by broad domains (Finance, Telco, Transport, Defence, Government etc.) We could use models such as the eTOM as a starting point.
2. Establish a standard grouping of processes within the business domains
3. Then look at which of these can be enabled using XML.
4. In Australia the DOMEDI group did similar work in the Transport domain (thouogh for a different purpose)
5. Finally a taxonomy of the business, processes, enablers and XML transactions
 
Regards.  Suresh

Goran,
 
While I like what you say vis SOA here - I have to take you to task on history ; -)
 
The ebXML foundation came out of the work of the XML/edi Group aligned with the work of CEFACT on ooEDI.
 
It completely breaks the mold on EDI.  Yes - things like ebMS are founded on EDI+ communications - but the core of the ebXMl stack - registry-centric XML-driven collaboration - and the notion of the "Fusion of Five" is designed to sweep away the old EDI practices.  Unfortunately XML as implemented today is nothing more than a slightly better EDI.  The whole XML revolution is yet to truely take hold.
 
As for web services - this was a shameless grab by IBM and Microsoft - attempting to be first to market ahead of ebXML with concepts that in essence are nothing more than "real-time EDI" - with all the same strengths and weaknesses of the
original real-time EDI implementations - just using XML and the internet instead of EDI and private networks.
 
So much for history - no need to dwell there - the challenge now is to bring real business enabled XML-driven processes and SOA to fruition.
 
Cheers, DW
----- Original Message -----
 For example, Web Services are initiated with an idea of services introduced by Microsoft 6-7 years ago and this idea has been formed from distributed computing and component-based computing ideas and "learn on mistakes" lessons from many organizations in 80s and 90s; ebXML is mostly based on EDI ideas and "learn on mistakes" lessons, etc.
