Just because other things are SOAs doesn't mean that this stuff isn't SOA too... And we just need to buck up here and admit it, even if we have to find a definition for it, its been around for a while, there's gotta be one we can plagiarize Heather Kreger Web Services Lead Architect STSM, SWG Emerging Technology kreger@us.ibm.com 919-543-3211 (t/l 441) cell:919-496-9572 Mark Baker <distobj@acm.org>@w3.org on 10/25/2002 08:07:17 AM Sent by: www-ws-arch-request@w3.org To: Jean-Jacques Moreau <moreau@crf.canon.fr> cc: Christopher B Ferris/Waltham/IBM@IBMUS, www-ws-arch@w3.org Subject: Re: new editor's draft of WSA available On Fri, Oct 25, 2002 at 01:09:20PM +0200, Jean-Jacques Moreau wrote: > > SOA == Service Oriented Architecture... has been around for a while. > > Yes, it is possibly too easily perceived as SOAP sans P. > > My concern is that the acronym is never formally introduced. > There is no prior indication in the text that "SOA=Service > Oriented Architecture", only in drawings. I'd be all for removing any mention of SOAs, if only because I can't think of a distributed system which isn't about services. Email, ftp, irc, the Web; all are SOAs. Besides, we'd have to define it, and we know how icky getting concensus on definitions can be. 8-/ MB -- Mark Baker, CTO, Idokorro Mobile.
