I (Mike) am going to try to fill out this entire (web services) topic area in a top-down manner. I'm starting with the basics and hope to move on to discuss (probably in separate articles) more advanced stuff later:

  • Synchronous vs. Asynchronous
  • Granularity
  • Loose Coupling
  • Reliablility
  • Security
  • Management
  • Orchestration (what tom-cats hate! <g>)
  • Choreography
  • Composition
  • Taxonomies and Semantics
  • blah, blah, blah...

Since I don't even understand some of these topic areas myself at this point, the whole grand scheme may take a little while! --Mike 12:13, 22 November 2007 (CET)


How about a description of REST and JSON concepts? --Jka 10:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
