This morning, several of my colleagues and I listened to Planning and Delivering Service-Oriented Architecture, presented by Marty Backer and Christopher De Rosa, both of UCSD. (See the accompanying Powerpoint slides. Audio is also available from the presentation page.) I will recommend this talk to my colleagues and managers — there is a lot there.
Here I want to record the questions I asked during the session and my summary of the answers given:
- Have you used SOA in the context of academic/scholarly applications or only for administrative apps? Answer: There is a new app for academic personnel, which will include scholarly works.
- Have you consciously applied what we learn from mashups and other Web 2.0 approaches to SOA? That is, more lightweight service invocations (REST instead of SOAP, for instance.) Answer: Yes, they have followed mashups fairly closely. Their system does support multiple protocols. They build an internal service component and then wrap them. SOAP/WSDL…very interested in REST….lots of scripting language usage on campus.
- What type of education/traiing efforts are you putting into place for UCSD developers AND managers? Answer: The slides gives some answers.
