Reuse, as pretty much everyone knows, is something of a holy grail when it comes to service-oriented architectures.
“I think reuse should be a goal, and clearly we've had that on our radar in IT for some time. However ... the core benefit is the value of reusing, not that fact that you reuse. There is a difference,” David Linthicum writes in Reusing the topic of reuse.
That said, Linthicum contends that we won’t get to “mass reuse” anytime soon.
“SOA can still have value without a significant amount of reuse.”
