Distributed Repositories; Federated Dashboards

While I agree wholeheartedly on the need for control (read governance) over SOA, and the resulting need for dashboards, I think we should also learn from BI in terms of accessing that data. I think it's oversimplifying to suggest there will be one repository to report off of. And there's no way (in practice) to create a data warehouse for SOA. So I think it's more likely you'll see federated repositories, similar to what the ITIL/CMDB folks are doing. You'll need to capability to query across several, some in relational and some in XML, in real time, to create those dashboard views people are looking for.
