[edit] Interesting idea worth pursuing

It is an interesting concept worth pursuing. the traditional business IT systems are all about storing and retrieving data, which is associated with stakeholders participating in some business activity. So apart from some core business rules, which may be computational, most other times, these information systems are storing and retrieving data. The data is either about the stakeholders (real, nominal ) or their actions (process status, process flow, impending events etc.).

Moreover a top down schema centric approach has brought us thus far, but is preventing us from making that migration to next level of business IT user expectation. This may be the 'caterpiller to butterfly' moment for business IT world? Should this wiki act as a focal point for interested parties to converge and discuss, given that there is nothing out there in industry resembling this?

Learn About All Things SOA:: SOA India 2007:: IISc, Bangalore (Nov 21-23)

Aligning IT systems to business needs and improving service levels within the constraints of tight budgets has for long been the topmost challenge for CIOs and IT decision makers. Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) provides a proven strategy to clearly address both of these objectives. Creating more agile information systems and making better use of existing infrastructure are two leading factors that are boosting SOA adoption across large, medium, and small Indian industries from the BFSI, Retail, Telecom, Manufacturing, Pharma, Energy, Government and Services verticals in India. If you are an IT decision maker belonging to any of these verticals, SOA India 2007 (IISc, Bangalore, Nov 21-23 2007) presents a unique opportunity to gather cutting-edge business and technical insights on SOA and other related areas such as BPM, BPEL, Enterprise 2.0, SaaS, MDM, Open Source, and more.
