<<The Achilles' heel of service-oriented architectures (SOAs) has been policy enforcement. Without a framework to govern security, service levels and other policies, developers have been hard-coding policies into the services themselves � making the services tightly coupled when the whole point of an SOA is loose coupling. Finally, a standard is emerging for run-time control: the Governance Interoperability Framework (GIF).
The GIF will make service registries much better able to support dynamic discovery of services that can be trusted. "For registries to become true clearinghouses of information about services, there has to be cooperation among registry directories, governance and life-cycle management solutions, and security products," says David Butler, VP of marketing at Systinet, which sells a services registry and developed the GIF standard. Compliance with GIF allows those infrastructure components to interoperate so that dynamically commissioned services don't violate centrally defined policies.>> No, it isn't Jonathan Schwartz.
