SOA in 18 months -- in context

Joe, While I am bullish on the concepts
that constitute SOA (modularity,
distributability, discoverability, sharability,
loose coupling), I am less bullish on the name
"SOA" given how it has wound up meaning just
about anything anyone wants it to mean.

As for the "18 month" comment, I was using
"SOA" somewhat tongue-in-cheek. What I was
referring to was the SEC announcement in 2008
that between now and 2011 it will be phasing in mandatory use of XBRL for financial reporting
into the SEC.

Since the audience was primarily composed of IT
employees of public companies regulated by the
SEC, I thought I would highlight that
"everyone" will have to use the automated SEC
reporting service to deliver their 10Qs etc. in
the form of XBRL. This is what I meant by
"you'll all be doing SOA in 18 months or so".

But of course, one isn't really "doing SOA"
unless the system one creates using services is
modular, distributable, discoverable, sharable,
and loosely coupled -- something I pointed out
later in the talk.
