On “document-oriented messages” (whatever that means)
This post from Mark Nottingham is an interesting read.I particularly liked this: Why do Web services folks think it’s OK for end users to use XML Schema if it isn’t good enough for describing WSDL? (Referring to the WSDL WG’s decision to create a new component model for v2.0). Well said!

Notes on service-orientation and currest state of WS-* specs, or… I think I am going to join the REST of them
Where is the Web Services world going to? I originally thought (wished) that Web Services technologies would be governed by the principles of service-orientation. I thought we were trying to realise an architecture where the focus was the service and the messages being exchanged, where policies and contracts allowed us to reason about the interactions…

WS-Addressing and WS-MessageDelivery in W3C
Hmmm… I am starting to suspect that the big companies already have a secret plan. Two submissions to W3C for specifications on how to address Web Services (WS-Addressing and WS-MD)? Surely, the consortium will not allow for two competing groups to be formed (I surely hope not). It seems that they will all get together…

Versioning in an XML world
I don’t think I’ve ever linked to David Orchard‘s great article on “Versioning XML Vocabularies”. I got reminded of it while reading “Designing Extensible, Versionable XML Formats” by Dare Obasanjo.

Time for a break
Hey everyone… It’s time for a break. I am going to switch off completely for 7 days, so no blogging. Santorini is our destination. I’ve already been there twice but that was 13 and 12 years ago 🙂 It’s such a great place! See you in a week!

A very good, high-level overview of service-orientation
This article on “Service Orientation and Its Role in Your Connected Systems Strategy” by Microsoft‘s Mike Burner is an excellent overview of service-orientation. I fully subscribe to these views.
