[edit] Issues

[edit] Quality / Notability / References

I restructured the article in April and added some references but I did not remove the rewrite, notability and reference tags. While I agree that the article needs more work, I think the tags may now be removed. --RichardVeryard 10:49, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Context

This is a big problem. The article on SOA is not good enough - because there isn't sufficient consensus about SOA concepts and principles - there is too much POV on the subject, mostly from IT vendors. The whole point of the OASIS reference model is to produce something better and more neutral. It is probably the best vendor-neutral account of SOA currently available (hence its notability) but it is not yet widely adopted, so it cannot yet be regarded as NPOV. This makes it very difficult for WP to clearly explain what SOA is as an introduction to this article without either adopting the OASIS account or alternatively adopting a more controversial (and possibly more confusing) account. --RichardVeryard 10:49, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
