SOA Interoperability in a Connected World

SOA Interoperability in a Connected World

Until we have a ubiqutous world of web services - a Global SOA, we will actually see islands of SOA.  It is my belief that SOA will evolve through three major phases - Enterprise SOA -> B2B SOA -> Global SOA.   Enterprise SOA is well entrenched in a majority of enterprises and now many more organizations are expanding their "sphere of influence" to include their extended enterprise and their most trusted trading partners.  While Web Services are well defined and in theory can operate across a network, SOAs are still somewhat proprietary in nature and security, identity and middleware messaging are different between SOA environments.  So in the short term and until we get to this "Global SOA", it is likely we will be build islands of SOA that we need to interconnect.  Therefore mediation and interoperability will start to become more important as our sights are set on building out our SOAs.

The SOA Network Architect www.soanetworkarchitect.com focuses primarily on building out network infrastructure to support SOA - "SOA in a Connected World", and WCF Architect www.wcfarchitect.net will focus on "SOA in a .net Connected World".   My new blog SOA Interoperability www.soainteroperability.com  - (SOA Interoperability in a Connected World) will focus on connecting and interoperability between different SOA environments.  These blogs are essentially based on my interest and research, and as I come across articles and research of interest I will post.  If the blog draws a lot of hits, I tend to feed it more.  If there is no interest I will drop them.  Today this blog reaches up to a 1,000 page views per day.  

The root blog will be The SOA Network www.soanetwork.net - The SOA Resource Network, which I will turn into a web site when I get time and funding.  So if you are interested in sponsoring the main site or advertising on this site please let me know.
 
Thanks for your support and appreciate any content that you would like to contribute.

And remember if you are interested in seaching for my latest blog posting - search Google Blogs under "SOA Network" or "SOA Networks"
