On November 17, 2005,BEA, IBM, IONA Technologies, Oracle, SAP  and Siebel announced an effort to develop new standards and resulting collaborative technologies to simplify how customers develop and implement applications in a Service Oriented Architecture.     With these technologies, customers will be able to more easily create new and transform existing IT assets into reusable services that may be rapidly adapted to changing business requirements. Further, these new technologies greatly reduce complexity associated with developing applications by providing a way to unify these services regardless of the programming languages they were written in and the platforms used to run them.

Service Data Objects

In November 2005, V2.01 specifications for Service Data Objects were released. These represent the latest complete versions. These specifications built upon early work (V1.0 and V2.0) pioneered by BEA and IBM. The Collaboration Partners are currently working on the V2.1 level.
