How to tap into the largest SOA in the world
March 13, 2008 By Joe McKendrick (ZDNet Blogs)
Despite mega-investments in a variety of integration technologies and strategies (including SOA), businesses have seen very little return for their efforts. That’s the view of ZDNet blogging colleague Dion Hinchcliffe, not too mention plenty of other industry observers.
However, unlike the naysayers, Dion says all is not lost. While traditional SOA (based on SOAP and WSDL Web services) really haven’t proven to be agile solutions, things will be different with the new generation of SOA that is emerging.
Don’t call it SOA, however — the appropriate term is WOA, or Web-Oriented Architecture. WOA leverages the World Wide Web, which Dion describes as “the largest SOA presently in existence.”
