SOA and Metadata: Is Loose Coupling a Loose Cannon?
I was just reading Joe McKendrick's So much metadata, so little time post. It reminded me of a conversation I had last week with some IT folks at a large insurance vendor.
While Joe is really addressing the SOA Registry/Repository gap, my customers are looking at things a little differently. You could use the same title, but their metadata issue is a bit different - it takes forever to find what they need (data locations, definitions) today and they are afraid SOA will make things worse. Companies want the architectural and development efficiency SOA brings. It's just that they know it will complicate the whole metadata problem.
