[SOA] requires rethinking how you build your applications. SOA is a programming model that views network services as the primary building block. It's not just one guy sitting down programming. There are lots of moving parts. |
SOA essentially lets other people do your e-government for you. It's freer -- that is, it frees government data, exposing it as a Web service so anyone can build an application. It's extending the open source concept to data. |
