Re: [soa-rm] RE: [soa-rm-ra] GCN Article: "Making Sense of SOA"

I'm not sure how important GCN blogs are, compared to the quality of
    the audience Dave, Ken and I address in the DM2 work and that I
    address in NCOIC, but, in any event, despite the fact that I'm
    actually associated with TOG SOA Ontology, I don't think it is very
    useful. It has problems that I would point out to whomever might ask
    me about it. I plan to do a de facto Ontology based on the RAF as
    soon as it is finished, though it may take a couple of months, and I
    will be recommending using that in preference to the TOG product. 

    

    Cheers,

    Rex

My immediate intent is to address the hole in the
            GCN article.  I think passing the word to other venues
            should be a topic of discussion when we are near our final
            status.  Thus, my question of who should be the recipient
            at GCN.  Simply posting a comment to the blog is a
            possibility but I would be willing to do more because I’m
            not sure how often people read blog comments unless the
            topic is controversial.

Clearing email now.  I don’t
                      usually read GCN.  Where would be the appropriate
                      place the SOA-RM TC chair should write to make
                      your point and to begin publicizing the RAF?

I’ve attached a copy of Chris
                      Harding’s SOA Ontology because I already have an
                      Open Group account. Note that this is now an
                      Technical Standard released by The Open Group.

                

                

                  
 

                

                

                  
Some of us have worked with Chris and The
                      Open Group SOA Work Group in the past.  This is
                      evident in Appendix B of the standard.  Yet
                      somewhere along the way, the SOA-RM has lost
                      visibility with the rest of the GCN community out
                      there.  It was the FIRST technical standard
                      released from the open standards community that
                      captured the “essence” of the SOA paradigm,
                      but it’s now four years old so perhaps its
                      fallen off the radar of the various industry rags
                      out there.  It’s going to be interesting to see
                      whether or not true harmonization will ensue from
                      our collective open standards efforts or whether
                      we continue on divergent paths with respect to
                      producing and releasing technical standards
                      related to the SOA paradigm.
