Similar motivations do not mean that they are actually similar, from a project experience SDO is a bit more evolved right now. I'd be willing to bet that Longhorn sees some major improvements in this space however (it would be great for instance to have an abstraction so Excel, Access, SQL Server, XML docs and others could be easily accessed would be superb).

Not that I'm a big believer in these two > specs, just curious. I would say that ADO.NET is the equivalent of SDO. Even IBM says so on http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-sdo/: "ADO .NET and SDO share similar motivators for supporting XML and applications distributed on multiple tiers."
