This site provides a portal to the primary standards and specifications that relate to SOA and service-orientation.

Any of the specifications referenced in the Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl or the SOA Certified Professional (SOACP) curriculum are represented on
this site.

What this site also helps highlight is the diversity of standards and technologies that SOA practitioners can now choose from when building services and service-oriented solutions. As originally explained in the SOA Design Patterns book and the SOA Patterns and Application Technologies page on SOAPatterns.org, service-orientation (and related principles, patterns and practices) can be applied to different implementation mediums for distributed systems. Regardless of the underlying technology, it is the meaningful application of the service-orientation paradigm that shapes software programs into units of service-oriented logic that can be legitimately considered services.

When exploring these specifications, it's important to keep in mind that their maturity and industry support can vary dramatically. As a result, some links may become invalid at any time and without notice.
