RE: [regrep] Title suggestion for Webinar

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

Farrukh,

 

My point is that "system of record" is just one isolated use case for Registry. 

 

I see that registry is being used for geospatial coordination, secure patient record federation, semantic XML content, document cataloguing, and so on.

 

The SOA system of record is IMHO way too narrow here.  The ebxml registry is not just a UDDI look-a-like for SOA as its main purpose...

 

Of course the real SOA use case here is articulated by OASIS BCM spec's and registry model - but then we'd have to explain BCM first ; -)

 

Anyway - you all are doing the present not me - I guess next time I can sign up to do

 

"ebXML Registry - Beyond SOA System of Record"

 

; -)

Based on my customer experience, Governance is the most pressing need in SOA today
and fortunately that is precisely where RegRep helps the most.

"Enabling" is too fuzzy and does not capture the central role that RegRep plays in SOA which is
that it is "The System of Record" for SOA deployments. My wife acuses me of being an "enabler"
for my children's delinquencies ;-)

You can see that point being drilled home by practically anyone who is selling a SOA Repository:

For this reason I feel *very strongly* about "The System of Record"  part of the title as that is precisely the role of RegRep in SOA.

If the term "governance" is an issue then how about:

"
OASIS ebXML Registry and Repository
The System of Record for SOA Deployments
"

Thanks.

Farrukh,

 

You need something catchy, short and to the point -

 

 OASIS ebXML Registry Repository - enabling SOA solutions

Since OASIS is the sponsor - no need to muddy the waters with inserting ISO too.

 

Also - the aim should be to catch peoples interest - and have them attend - not drive them away!!!

 

So your title is to specific - what if the reader thinks - "huh - my business needs are nothing to do with "governance" - my CFO just wants me to help sales of more widgets".

 

Perhaps I do need to understand possible "SOA solutions" for that.

 

Think marketing - not technobabble  ; -)

What exactly is a "Service Oriented Arcitecture Architectures" and how
is it better than
"Service Oriented Arcitecture"?
