Subject: V3.0 of ebXML for SOA
Duane raised some interesting points that I'd like
to
focus on - in regard to - creating a new 3.0
release of
ebXML.
My biggest departure point is around the single
issue of a perscribed architecture as opposed
to
a suggested architecture.
I believe that trying to force certain
technology
components down peoples throats as "you
must
have this to be ebXML compliant" is a serious
mistake - and especially in the area of
payloads.
One of the reasons payloads were never
perscribed
is exactly that.
The great strength of ebXML is that you can eat
just
the pieces you need.
Next up - Registry and CAM components offer
a
phased approach - that is based on sound business
ROI
to discreet problems - around information alignment
and
interoperablity.
Now - if people discover they really can save money
and
work more efficiently by using your technology -
you will
not have to force them to use it - they will come
to it
themselves - and that's essential
longterm.
So - again - its comes back to - articulating where
those
ROI factors are - from a business-centric view -
and that
is what we need to spend our effort on
IMHO.
As for the SOA fit - yes - we do need to make sure
that
SOA literature includes ebXML components as
options
there - and so again - the value proposition
needs to be
made at that level. But its not a case
anymore from
the technology level of saying "you must have this
to
have an SOA" - as UDDI found out - that dog does
not
hunt.
Identify the business needs in a replicatable and
formal
way - and the technology to accomplish that will
then
make sense for people. Again the OASIS BCM TC
is
focused there.
The platform for "ebXML Architecture" may actually
be
a losing proposition - and instead just perpetuates
the
notion of SOA v ebXML - whereas if the effort is
"ebXML V3.0 for SOA"
I think you have a much much stronger message that
all the TCs can signup to - to make sure their
piece
of the pie makes ebXML for SOA a compelling
business success.
Cheers, DW.
