Presentation
The SOA Standards Jungle: A Plea for Harmonization among Standards Organizations
Harsh Sharma will be sharing his thoughts as an end user looking to utilize SOA standards while developing our SOA strategy.

As there are so many standards out there from different organizations (and even more SOA Organizations are being formed), the end-user is hard pressed to choose what standards from which organizations to use. Hence the plea to standards organizations to harmonize and publish their SOA Perspectives and roadmap, to avoid redundancy and offer clarity for the end user community.
