Discussing REST style services [NOT]
Building REST style services [HOT]

Debating the merits of UDDI [NOT]
Building out your service taxonomy [HOT]

I.T. doing SOA without business alignment [NOT]

Interestingly, Joe McKendrick, prolific SOA Blogger for ZDNet added his own list

Not: Large vendors creating their own SOA solutions

Hot: Open-source stack (editor's note: WSO2 Tungsten Commercially Supported WS Stack)
Not: Paying retail for software

Hot: Software as a Service
Not: Software without service 

Hot: Customized applications
Not: Packaged applications 

Hot: Legacy integration
Not: Reinventing the wheel

Hot: ESBs (editor's note: InfoQ ESB Roundup part two discusses this)
Not: ESBs (editor's note: InfoQ ESB Roundup part one)

Hot: WS-Security
Not: WS-AnythingElseThatComplicatesOurLives

Hot: Speculation about the pairing of business process management and SOA
Not: Brad and Angelina — who the heck cares?

Anyone in the InfoQ community want to add to this list?

    What's Service Oriented Information Engineering?

    Aug 4, 2006 6:55 AM by James Collins

    About the only significant hits for that phrase on Google is this page, and the original blog entry. As someone who spends a lot of time writing "one-off WSDLs", I'd like to know. thanks!

  2. Hot - building internal IT competencies, organization and methodology Not - big bang SOA transformations
