"The OASIS Open Composite Services Architecture (CSA) Member Section advances open standards that simplify SOA application development. Open CSA brings together vendors and users from around the world to collaborate on the further development and adoption of the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO) families of specifications."

"Service Component Architecture (SCA) is a set of specifications which describe a model for building applications and systems using a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). SCA extends and complements prior approaches to implementing services, and SCA builds on open standards such as Web services. SCA is based on the idea that business function is provided as a series of services, which are assembled together to create solutions that serve a particular business need. These composite applications can contain both new services created specifically for the application and also business function from existing systems and applications, reused as part of the composition. SCA provides a model both for the composition of services and for the creation of service components, including the reuse of existing application function within SCA compositions. SCA aims to encompass a wide range of technologies for service components and for the access methods which are used to connect them. For components, this includes not only different programming languages, but also frameworks and environments commonly used with those languages. For access methods, SCA compositions allow for the use of various communication and service access technologies that are in common use, including, for example, Web services, messaging systems and Remote Procedure Call (RPC)."

"In Forrester's 40-criteria evaluation of application programming interface (API) management solutions, we identified the 11 most significant software providers in the category - 3scale, Apigee, Axway, CA Technologies, IBM, Informatica, Intel Services, MuleSoft, SOA Software, Tibco Software, and WSO2 - and researched, analyzed, and evaluated them. This report details our findings about how well each vendor's products fulfill our criteria and where they stand in relation to each other. This analysis, combined with three buying guides that highlight key make-or-break decision factors, will help AD&D professionals select the right partner for their API management needs."

Nosotros tenemos necesidad de un repositorio de servicios, me parece que es la única manera de lograr un poco de uniformidad, claridad y exposición en cualquier esfuerzo SOA que podamos hacer en la organización. Quizás podríamos empezar un test drive de una implementación similar a lo que proponen en el artículo dado que no requiere la "elección" de un producto en particular lo cual parece ser el factor limitante en este momento "político".

La parte en la que cuenta cómo Jeff Bezos hizo convertir Amazon en una gran SOA (base de lo que sería AWS) deja muchas enseñanzas... y es imperdible.

"Most internal REST APIs are one-off APIs purpose built for a single integration point. In this article, I'll discuss the constraints and flexibility that you have with nonpublic APIs, and lessons learned from doing large scale RESTful integration across multiple teams."

"This page contains tables of known HTML rel values from specifications, formats, proposals, brainstorms, and non-trivial POSH usage in the wild. In addition, dropped and rejected values are listed at the end for comprehensiveness. usage: see how is 'rel' used. Regarding rev, see: should 'rev' even be used. This page is also the official rel registry ([1][2]). Add new and proposed rel values to the following section: HTML5 link type extension "

"Collection+JSON is a JSON-based read/write hypermedia-type designed to support management and querying of simple collections. It is similar to the The Atom Syndication Format (RFC4287) and the The Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC5023) . However, Collection+JSON defines both the format and the semantics in a single media type. It also includes support for Query Templates and expanded write support through the use of a Write Template."
