W3C Workshop on Web of Services
Lots of interesting posts about the recent W3C Web of Services for Enterprise Computing Workshop are beginning to appear from folks like Paul Downey (BT), Eric Newcomer (IONA) (& 2), Steve Loughran, Paul Sandoz (Sun) and more. It certainly sounds like an interesting mix of perspectives were represented though it seems a real shame that Microsoft did not attend or even publish a position paper.
Almost as an aside, I also noticed that WSDL 2.0 is now a Proposed Recommendation – is this just in time or just too late? New remote interface definition languages, by definition, face huge uphill battles gaining traction so WSDL 2.0 needs to earn some serious credibility and quickly. Developers need WSDL 2.0 based tools and stacks to allow them to evaluate the new specification in proposed real world scenarios. (WADL looks nice and is winning kudos these days but I doubt it will ever depose either the old or new W3C-endorsed specifications.)
