Background materials for consideration / industry positioning

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

I just uploaded to PDF files to the docs' area - just made them visible within OASIS TCs.

 

I found this webinar very useful in terms of detailing where the UDDI / WSDL herd is right now - and clearly there is a lot of overlap between the message here and the same message from ebSOA.

 

Gartner also provides some insights onto why registry services are so key in preventing SOA-havoc.

 

One key point that came out of the webinar - was the presenters answer to a Q&A about standards for SOA.

 

They were told 'there are none" and Gartner recommend none.

 

Clearly OASIS has some work to do in this area.

 

My own thoughts here are that it is prudent to position our work to be inclusive - not exclusive - of existing implementation solutions.  I'm not seeing to many issues from our perspective in that - but whether this attracts industry participation - or lipservice and business-as-usual - only time will tell!

 

Thanks, DW
