I was invited to SOA Consortium about 6 months ago and still does not catch what is behind their mission (except fee collection :-) of cause). I do not see how this can resolve "the confusion whether SOA is a technology or a management concept" ( because I do think that SOA is neither nor).
Plus, "merging of EA and SOA" requires clarification on the result - is it an EA with certain sector of it organised as service-oriented but not the whole or EA becomes SOA (which I do not believe in )? - Michael Sebastian Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, have you heard of the non-profit organisation calld SOA Consortium? It seems to be their core mission to promote a business oriented SOA, e.g. in: http://www.soa-consortium.org/SOA_C_EA2010_release_1_October_2007_full.pdf They suggest that we will see a merging of EA and SOA. My feeling is that this will solve the issue with the confusion whether SOA is a technology or a management concept. What are your thoughts about this initiative? Is it just pure marketing for the member companies? Will it help to change the public perception of SOA?
