Yes, we still disagree. IMO, SOA is not a level of architecture. It has no inherent level of scope. SO can be applied business-wide, technology-wide, application-wide. At any level of scope the archictect desires. I understand that many here feel that "true SOA" is basically an EA (or BA). I don't share that view.
IA is not a subset of SOA. IA might be a subset of EA, if one does an EA and includes IA. Applying SO to IA makes IA and SOA. -Rob --- In [email protected], Michael Poulin <m3pou...@...> wrote: > > We still disagree about SOA and integration.
