By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Wizard of SOA
Some refreshingly blunt coverage of SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) - the much touted Next Big Thing (after 2L, that is). "This is what I don't get: a) we have to pay for it (licensing more products) and b) we have to develop it (and development of SOA applications seems overly complex to me)." Every time I talk to people about the Semantic Web (always in caps) and SOA, they are always talking enterprise. But think about it - when was the last time something developed for the enterprise had any great influence? The things that make real change - and therefore are really the Next Big Thing - are always (always) small, simple and personal. More...

Does Education Inflected Architecture = Web 2.0?
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Michael Feldstein: Does Education Inflected Architecture = Web 2.0?, E-Literate October 12, 2005The real question posed by Michael Feldstein is not the one in the title but whether 'remix' is a type of consumption, and he argues that it is. He writes, "What I particularly like about reframing this sort of integration as 'active consumption' rather than production (or development) is that it moves the boundary between “users†and system creators while still allowing that boundary to persist." By contrast, I don't want that boundary to persist. More...
