Like most of the class, I spent the latter half of this class trying to digest Doug's explanation of SOA. It was actually entertaining -- a group of fifty half-way intelligent people were trying to get a grasp on Doug's topic. Not easy. Especially considering Doug's background and career are immersed in the latest IT topics.
But I tried. It's all tied back to information and (I hear this all the time) trying to get rid of the ubiquitous "silos." Different steps in a process require different amounts/types of information and nobody can seem to get what they need. Enter service-oriented architecture. I could write all day on this, but I probably wouldn't do it justice.
We had some good articles on trusted info as well. With all the information we've created (and has yet to be created), you knew a whole career field would pop up related to this topic. Proving once again, all these newfangled systems and advanced information systems are only as good as the content inside them.
