There never was a line

I recall jumping on to the SOA Yahoo group months ago, hoping to more fully understand the prevailing definition and practice of what is referred to as SOA. I came to the conclusion that SOA as stand-alone entity never existed. Oh, there was SOA this and SOA that (and a parody titled exactly that featuring Greg the Architect) but fundamentally, architecture is architecture, whatever the guiding principles may be.

Service orientation is just one way of creating an enterprise architecture (or an application architecture or an integration architecture or ....).

To say SOA is folding into EA is amiss in my opinion. It was never its own thing to begin with.
