Time to balance WS-* and REST

REST is particularly suitable for very large networks with huge numbers of clients and servers and where it is convenient to model all operations as reads and writes directed to individual URIs. As for WS-*, its sweet spot lies in systems bigger than those that use distributed objects, and whose networks are further flung, slower, less reliable, and possibly divided between different administrative domains.


Governance Interoperability Framework (GIF)

The GIF meets customer demands for highly interoperable, multi-vendor solutions for enterprise SOA. In particular, enterprises are seeking interoperability between components of SOA — management, security, integration, composite applications, and business intelligence — and the Business Service Registry (BSR). The registry becomes the 'system-of-record', providing visibility into all aspects of a SOA and richly describing services. The GIF is designed to provide a standards-based approach to publishing and discovering business services information in a SOA across multiple vendor products. GIF dramatically improves SOA visibility, governance, and lifecycle management.
