Here is the statement we're looking to send to the press that can be used
as an intro/abstract: 

Members of OASIS, OMG, and The Open Group
announce the publication of a new white paper, "Navigating the SOA Open
Standards Landscape Around Architecture." The paper was produced to help
the SOA community at large navigate the myriad of overlapping technical
products produced by these organizations with specific emphasis on the
“A” in SOA; i.e., Architecture. 

This joint white paper explains and positions standards for SOA reference
models, ontologies, reference architectures, maturity models, modeling
languages, and  governance. It outlines where the works are similar,
highlights the strengths of each body of work, and touches on how the work can
be used together in complementary ways. It is also meant as a guide to users of
these specifications for selecting the technical products most appropriate for
their needs, consistent with where they are today and where they plan to head
on their SOA journeys. 

We are working
on getting quotes to go with this statement to the Press.  We're trying to
get this done by Monday so that Carol Geyer (OASIS) can send it out before her
vacation." 

Sincerely,

Heather Kreger
