Not exactly strange bedfellows, SOA and the so-called new Web, otherwise known by the buzzword Web 2.0.
Think: Web services, reusable components, standard interfaces.
"This is becoming a very important component to Web 2.0, or the ability to mix and match 'outside-in' services for use within enterprise applications," David Linthicum explains.
And so if flows toward machine-to-machine information exchange using standard protocols, a reality the world is facing quite quickly, Linthicum adds in How SOA and Web 2.0 are married.
"SOA not only becomes the core enabling architecture, but liberates existing information contained in legacy, as well as provides a mechanism to consume services from the Web. In fact the Web could become the mother of all SOAs very quickly."
