web 2.0 and SOA - where do they meet?

While web 2.0 is all about rich user interfaces, and participative architectures. SOA is all about standards based integration, and standards based IT interfaces? Where do they meet?

Read on..

Web 2.0 can be conceptualized as a key enterprise computing trend, complementing SOA. It is now possible to envisage a rich ecosystem of interoperable business services, connected through common interfaces. Web 2.0 can be thought of as enabler of rich service consumer ecosystem for SOA, with capabilites for collaboration, orchestration, customization, context sensitive variation for services etc.

Definitely this is a sweet spot worth exploring .. See the detailed analysis in the SETlabs briefings Vol 2, 2007 Issue on Implementing SOA  for details of this..
