Introducing “Planet Library SOA”

Posted on Tuesday, June 19th, 2007, at 2:21 pm, and filed under Library SOA. Note: Hypertext links in the printed form of this document are marked with a superscript "L" plus a number. The number corresponds to the list of web addresses at the bottom of the document.

I am pleased to announce the formation of Planet Library SOA — an aggregation of blog postings and resources related to the application of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) software paradigm to library systems. You can follow the topic by reading the aggregation website, but the best way to follow along is by subscribing to one of the feeds (atom, rss1.0 or rss2.0) in your favorite newsreader. Those in the conversation at the beginning are Eric Schnell, Lorcan Dempsey, Richard Akerman, Stephen Anthony, and the Talis corporate blog. If you are looking for an introduction to the SOA topic with a slant towards library services, I humbly suggest you read my series on DLTJ starting with Defining “Service Oriented Architecture” by Analogy.

Mechanics


Planet Library SOA is created using the Planet software — a tool for aggregating and republishing RSS feeds. In the case where the contributor runs the WordPress software, Planet Library SOA subscribes to the RSS feed of a category or tag from that blog. In the case where the contributor runs the Movable Type software, a Yahoo! Pipe is used to extract SOA-related postings from the blog’s general feed. (For example, see this Yahoo! Pipe for Lorcan Dempsey’s blog. My gratitude goes out to Stephen Anthony for his example on how to get Yahoo! Pipes to extract content from feeds and Ryan Gallagher for a workaround to a bug in Pipes.)

    Planet Library SOA…

    Peter Murray (aka The Jester) has been kind enough to setup a new library SOA aggregation at Planet Library SOA. So, you growing masses of library architecture enthusiasts, please feel free to converge there and slurp from the fountain of library SOAne…

    links from TechnoratiYou can of course read more as well in my (sometimes overlapping) blog categories on Service-Oriented Architecture and Web Services. As well, Peter Murray has been advocating for library SOA, and has set up an aggregator to gather various blog postings on the topic: http://librarysoa.dltj.org/ Finally, here’s the full sidebar that I wrote: Library SOA In the library world, we are often bombarded with new technology terms and ideas.
