- 'Open SOA' launched — no surprise, no Microsoft
- Call it deja vu all over again. Ten years ago, Microsoft wanted nothing to do with a vendor alliance formed to promote Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. Instead, Microsoft followed the beat of its own .NET drummer. Now it looks like they'll have nothing to do with the Open SOA initiative that was just announced the other week, either — an alliance involving the same players as J2EE....

- Open SOA Sells—But Microsoft Isn't Buying
- Almost a year ago, BEA Systems Inc., IBM Corp., Oracle Corp., SAP AG and four other vendors all put aside their respective differences—in public, anyway—to form an informal SOA advocacy alliance.
Last week, nine additional vendors threw their hats into the SOA-advocacy ring, joining with founding members BEA, IBM, Oracle, and SAP to officially kick off Open SOA and Web site...

- Butler Group: In search of open SOA
- Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is, in Butler Group's opinion, a standards-based infrastructure upon which defined, self-contained, and non-reliant functional components can be stored, identified, created, deployed, and consumed.
However, there currently exist many different 'flavors' and interpretations of SOA, some of which appear to flout some of the necessary requirements, namely in that they are not standards-based and cannot therefore interoperate with other SOA frameworks - frequently a case of "my SOA is better than yours". Therefore, it is good news last week that a greater number of vendors are getting together to continue the work started last year on Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO).

Computer Business Review
- Service-oriented architecture: an open gathering
- More software vendors have joined a service-oriented architecture collaboration.
There currently exist many different 'flavors' and interpretations of service-oriented architecture, some of which appear to flout some of the necessary requirements, in that they are not standards-based and thus cannot interoperate with other frameworks. Therefore, it is good to hear that more vendors are collaborating to continue work on service component architecture and service data objects.

The Register
- SOA specs firming up
- That old cliché - the trouble with standards is that there are so many of them - could also be applied to the world of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) with real justification. There are many software vendors out there claiming to offer SOA solutions so the coming together of some leading players, towards the end of last year, in an attempt to generate some specifications (if not yet official "standards") to which they could all work arguably fell into the bracket of being "a good thing".............
