There's been a lot of activity in the past few months around SOA standards. For example:
- August -- Open SOA Collaboration group is formed to advance SCA and SDO
- October -- OASIS Reference Model for SOA approved
- December -- The Object Management Group (OMG) begins work on UML Profile and Metamodel for Services
We've discussed SCA, SDO, Open SOA, and OASIS in previous Advisors this year. This week, I'll turn my attention to the UML Profile.
