I would say we're talking about data-oriented services. Regardless of what we call them, the real question is, do entity services (and more broadly, data services) play a legitimate role in an SOA? My opinion is an emphatic "yes". > > I disagree on presentation layer is not a part of SOA. What any User Journey is if not an implementation of a business process or an aggregation of business services/functions/features? Well, I posted my comments on this already. I think you have to draw boundaries somewhere. Any IT component is providing some service, at least in the mind of its creator. I think a UI can be developed using service orientation (UI events trigging service calls, for example), but I would not call the UI itself a service. -Kirstan
