  • Rethinking Information Architecture for the New World (Part 3) (Enterprise Architecture at Oracle)
    "Given [that] we are almost always starting with a legacy environment where systems have many, often inconsistent, data models, rationalizing all the data [and] their semantic and their physical structures is where we tend to spend overwhelming amounts of time [usually ending in frustration]." Hamza Jahangir

  • EA Bashing?!? Open Season on EA’s??? Who is at Fault? (Or should the question be how do we fix it?)
    "I have seen so many projects recently where everyone gets the value of doing it right (deep integration of the EA with Business Units, using SOA, Governance, Virtualization, etc..) but these notions are the first to get killed as pressure mounts. A lot of people I meet want to get it right and have enough “personal power” to overcome the shortcomings posed by a less than optimal environment." -- Pat Shepherd

But not without a little sturm und drang

    In the latest OTN Arch2Arch podcast, two of the Manifesto’s authors --  Oracle VP and chief SOA technologist David Chappell and Oracle senior product manager and SOA architect Clemens Utschig-Utschig --  offer an inside look at what went on in that room. Listen to Part 1 (mp3). (Part 2 will be available next week.)

    Note: Most of the questions asked during this interview were submitted in advance by Tweeters, or simply suggested by some of the rhetoric generated on Twitter by the SOA Manifesto. 

    If you have your own questions for David or Clemens, you can connect with them through various social networks:

    Also of Interest

    David, Clemens, and SOA author Thomas Erl discussed Erl’s SOA Patterns project in an Arch2Arch program in  May 2009.
