Subject: RE: [soa-rm] Why do we need SOA? (proposal for Introduction text)

Rex,

Thanks for these insightful articles. One big takeaway that I have from skimming the first 2 is that SOA enables EA, which is different than saying that SOA is a *type of* EA (as I have seen written in some instances). IOW, one may have a SOA that is not defined and implemented at an enterprise level (as we have stated in some earlier threads), just as there is enterprise data and non-enterprise data.

What is your take on this?

Duane, Everyone,

Below are the four URLs that comprise the EA & SOA series I have
mentioned. The long term plan is to build a book from this material.
It is one of those things that seems to have a life of its own, since
every time I look at it, I end up wanting to expand on the points,
and due to our conversations, there is now another ton and a half
more material that I think should be added, but other projects have
intervened, so I have no idea when I will get back to this. Probably
sooner rather than later.

The overall title is "Enterprise Architecture and Service-Oriented
Architecture: Fad or Foundation?"
